Harvard University Press The Proof
Book SynopsisHow do we know what we think we know? The answer is evidence, but evidence is no simple thing. What counts as evidence in a scientific context or private dispute may not stand up in court. Frederick Schauer combines perspectives from law, statistics, psychology, and philosophy to assess the nature of evidence in the era of “fake news.”Trade ReviewSchauer displays a level of intellectual honesty one rarely encounters these days…This is delightful stuff, all the more so coming from an author whose political sympathies clearly lie far from the Trump family. Chapters on the state of criminology and the nature of lying are similarly engaging. -- Barton Swaim * Wall Street Journal *[Schauer’s] essential argument is that in assessing evidence, we need, first of all, to recognize that evidence comes in degrees (from weak to strong, from extraneous to relevant) and that probability, the likelihood that the evidence or testimony is accurate, matters…[He] has fascinating things to say about the reliability of eyewitnesses, hearsay and lie detectors, the efficacy of honor codes and courtroom oath taking, and the trustworthiness of letters of recommendation. -- Steven Mintz * Inside Higher Education *I would make Proof one of a handful of books that all incoming law students should read…Essential and timely. -- Emily R. D. Murphy * Law and Society Review *Schauer is inviting us to distrust ourselves, to look for an external ground in our evidence assessments, one that reaches out for empirical evidence and verifiable inferences, instead of feelings, senses, perception, and intuition…The elucidation of this value (of distrusting ourselves) is a great achievement…[A] fascinating book. -- Thomas Bustamante * Jotwell *At a time when the concept of truth itself is in trouble, this lively and accessible account provides vivid and deep analysis of the practices addressing what is reliably true in law, science, history, and ordinary life. Schauer's The Proof integrates knowledge of legal doctrine, social science studies, philosophy, and history and offers both timely and enduring insights. -- Martha Minow, former Dean of Harvard Law School and author of When Should Law Forgive?The Proof is an engaging tour of a range of knotty problems relating to evidence and reasoned inference. Fred Schauer shares a wealth of insights he has developed over several decades of teaching and writing about evidence law and the nature of proof. A pleasure to read. -- David Alan Sklansky, author of A Pattern of ViolenceA thoroughly enjoyable and accessible book on how the insights of evidence law can help all of us make better decisions in our everyday lives. A much-needed guide in a confusing world awash in information and misinformation. The Proof is sure to become a classic! -- Edward K. Cheng, Vanderbilt Law SchoolWith his uncanny ability to blend erudition and accessibility, Fred Schauer unpacks how to think about proof—what people tell us, what we see, what the experts say—in everyday life. An extraordinarily readable book with breathtaking range and clarity, The Proof is an indispensable guide for those who seek to thoughtfully navigate the world. I cannot recommend it highly enough. -- Kimberly Kessler Ferzan, University of Pennsylvania Carey Law SchoolIf you care about evidence, the search for the truth, about what we know and how we know it, you have a lot to learn from this timely and masterful book. -- Lee C. Bollinger, President and Seth Low Professor of the University, Columbia UniversityAssessing evidence: that is the essence of judgment. Schauer’s The Proof imparts the disturbing lesson that we, be we individuals or organizations, are poor judges. Fortunately, this book wields tools from law, psychology, and statistics, plus an array of historic examples and contemporary accounts, to show how we can dramatically improve as assessors. Even better, it does so with wit. -- Richard Zeckhauser, Frank P. Ramsey Professor of Political Economy, Harvard University

Cornell University Press Anthropological Witness
Book SynopsisAnthropological Witness tells the story of Alexander Laban Hinton''s encounter with an accused architect of genocide and, more broadly, Hinton''s attempt to navigate the promises and perils of expert testimony. In March 2016, Hinton served as an expert witness at the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia, an international tribunal established to try senior Khmer Rouge leaders for crimes committed during the 197579 Cambodian genocide. His testimony culminated in a direct exchange with Pol Pot''s notorious right-hand man, Nuon Chea, who was engaged in genocide denial.Anthropological Witness looks at big questions about the ethical imperatives and epistemological assumptions involved in explanation and the role of the public scholar in addressing issues relating to truth, justice, social repair, and genocide. Hinton asks: Can scholars who serve as expert witnesses effectively contribute to international atrocity crimes tribunals where the fTable of ContentsIntroduction: Law, Anthropology, and Expert Witness 1.

Oxford University Press A Philosophy of Evidence Law
Book SynopsisThe dominant approach to evaluating the law on evidence and proof focuses on how the trial system should be structured to guard against error. This book argues instead that complex and intertwining moral and epistemic considerations come into view when departing from the standpoint of a detached observer and taking the perspective of the person responsible for making findings of fact. Ho contends that it is only by exploring the nature and content of deliberative responsibility that the role and purpose of much of the law can be fully understood. In many cases, values other than truth have to be respected, not simply as side-constraints, but as values which are internal to the nature and purpose of the trial. A party does not merely have a right that the substantive law be correctly applied to objectively true findings of fact, and a right to have the case tried under rationally structured rules. The party has, more broadly, a right to a just verdict, where justice must be understood tTrade ReviewHo's book A Philosophy of Evidence Law is an important contribution to this emerging body of literature at the interface between evidence scholarship and philosophy. This monograph is an excellent exemplar of this kind of interdisciplinary work, as it combines a deep understanding of the law of evidence with rigorous philosophical analysis, and it succeeds in showing the relevance of abstract theory to the detailed study of evidence rules and legal problems. The book is also to be commended for its breath of analysis, for it examines evidence rules of both criminal and civil law in several common law jurisdictions, with a foray into international law and continental law. * Amaya, Amalia (2009) "The Ethics of Trial Deliberation: Moral Agency in Legal Fact-Finding," International Commentary on Evidence: Vol. 7 : Iss. 2, Article 2 *Ho is admirably clear and eloquent in patiently setting out his stall and defending his thesis...It is compellingly written, and arguments are carefully cross-referenced. As a normative critique of the law of evidence, it deserves to take its place alongside recent well-known works such as Alex Stein's Foundations of Evidence Law...and Larry Laudan's Truth, Error, and Criminal Law...A Philosophy of Evidence Law: Justice in the Search for Truth is an impressive work of scholarship. * Andrew L-T Choo, The Edinburgh Law Review, Volume 13, 2009 *In summary the book embodies vast learning, makes many acute points, and in so doing has driven some of the piles preparatory to the task of bridging the gap between theory and practice in the law of evidence. * Professor Colin Tapper, Law Quarterly Review, 2009 *Ho's book is important and well worth study by evidence scholars and others interested in the morality and epistemology of legal fact-finding. * William E. O'Brian Jr, The Modern Law Review 72 (1) *This is a scholarly, well-researched and thought provoking work, providing an excellent introduction to the theoretical underpinnings of evidence law. * Andrew C. Stumer, International Commentary on Evidence, Vol 6, Issue 1 *Ho has written an erudite and timely text that lawyers and judges ought to consider reading to enhance the proper working of the judicial system, especially in the age of digital evidence * Stephen Mason, ICLQ, Vol 58 *Table of Contents1.
