This classic text, first published in 1990, is
designed to introduce law students, law teachers, practitioners, and
judges to the basic ideas of mathematical probability and statistics as
they have been applied in the law. The fourth edition includes fourteen
new sections, four inserts to the statistical text, and six new answer
sections, on topics including the following: Use of prior probabilities
after DNA database searches; Lipitor and diabetes; Harvard’s affirmative
action practices in admissions; New York City garbage trucks; Tests of
odds ratio homogeneity; Disparate impact of a pre-employment exam on
minority applicants; Liraglutide and pancreatic cancer; Representative
sampling; Reversals in death-penalty cases; Technology assisted review
in e-discovery; Asbestos and colon cancer; Guilty pleas in the federal
courts; The “financing secured” event study; and Average marginal
effects. The book consists of sections of exposition followed by
real-world cases and case studies in which statistical data have played a
role. The reader is asked to apply the theory to the facts, to
calculate results (a hand calculator is sufficient), and to explore
legal issues raised by quantitative findings. The authors' calculations
and comments are given in the back of the book. As with previous
editions, the cases and case studies reflect a broad variety of legal
subjects, including antidiscrimination, mass torts, taxation, school
finance, identification evidence, preventive detention, handwriting
disputes, voting, environmental protection, antitrust, sampling for
insurance audits, and the death penalty.
