Is truth in the law just plain truth or something sui generis? Is a
trial a search for truth? Do adversarial procedures and
exclusionary rules of evidence enable, or impede, the accurate
determination of factual issues? Can degrees of proof be identified
with mathematical probabilities? What role can statistical evidence
properly play? How can courts best handle the scientific testimony
on which cases sometimes turn? How are they to distinguish reliable
scientific testimony from unreliable hokum? The dozen
interdisciplinary essays collected here explore a whole nexus of
such questions about science, proof, and truth in the law. With her
characteristic clarity and verve, in these essays Haack brings her
original and distinctive work in theory of knowledge and philosophy
of science to bear on real-life legal issues. She includes detailed
analyses of a wide variety of cases and lucid summaries of relevant
scientific work, of the many roles of the scientific peer-review
system, and of relevant legal developments."
