We invite submissions that make progress in our understanding of the following:
(1) Modeling evidential reasoning and decision making at trial (e.g. evidence weighing; conflict resolution; standards of proof and rules of decision);
(2) Evidence-based decision making and the architecture of the trial system (e.g. rules of admissibility; discovery procedures; adversary v. inquisitorial models; rules of weight v. free proof); and
(3) The role and limitations of expected utility theory, and more generally cost/benefit analysis, for evidence-based decision making.
We welcome contributions that address the topics above by applying theoretical, computational and empirical approaches, broadly construed, to the study of the law.
A reviewing committee will assess the quality of the submissions as for originality, rigor and suitability for the workshop.
