This book explores the nature of factual inference in adjudication.
The book should be useful to students of law in Continental Europe
as well as to students of Anglo-American law. While a good many
countries do not use the sorts of rules of evidence found in the
Anglo-American legal tradition, their procedural systems
nevertheless frequently use a variety of rules and principles to
regulate and structure the acquisition, presentation, and evalu
ation of evidence. In this sense, almost all legal systems have a
law of proof. This book should also be useful to scholars in fields
other than law. While the papers focus on inference in
adjudication, they deal with a wide variety of issues that are
important in disciplines such as the philosophy of science,
statistics, and psychology. For example, there is extensive
discussion of the role of generalizations and hypotheses in
inference and of the significance of the fact that the actors who
evaluate data also in some sense constitute the data that they
evaluate. Furthermore, explanations of the manner in which some
legal systems structure fact-finding processes may highlight
features of inferential processes that have yet to be adequately
tackled by scholars in fields other than law."
