Statistics in the Law of Evidence
Nicholas Lennings
This book evaluates the role played by statistical evidence in litigation. Despite the increasing prevalence of statistical evidence in modern litigation, how such evidence should be admitted and used by courts is often inconsistent and widely criticised. The book proposes criteria that could allow courts to decide that statistical evidence is good for fact-finding.
The many and varied scholarly debates regarding statistical evidence have by and large avoided judicial attention. Unlike previous works, this book contextualises those debates in the language and practice of evidence law, focusing principally on Australia, as well as the UK and the USA.
Nicholas Lennings is a barrister at 12 Wentworth Selborne Chambers and an Adjunct Senior Lecturer at the University of Sydney, Australia.
