Summary
Mark Schweizer examines the evaluation of evidence and the standard of proof in civil proceedings within a probabilistic and decision theoretic framework. The rational Bayesian approach to evidence evaluation is contrasted with insights from models of coherence-based reasoning, in the hope of improving the process of evidence evaluation. The author argues for the adoption of a lower standard of proof in civil proceedings.
