Time-Shifted Rationality And The Law Of Law's Leverage: Behavioral Economics Meets Behavioral Biology, Owen D. Jones Jul 2001

Time-Shifted Rationality And The Law Of Law's Leverage: Behavioral Economics Meets Behavioral Biology, Owen D. Jones

Vanderbilt Law School Faculty Publications

A flood of recent scholarship explores legal implications of seemingly irrational behaviors by invoking cognitive psychology and notions of bounded rationality. In this article, I argue that advances in behavioral biology have largely overtaken existing notions of bounded rationality, revealing them to be misleadingly imprecise - and rooted in outdated assumptions that are not only demonstrably wrong, but also wrong in ways that have material implications for subsequent legal conclusions. This can be remedied. Specifically, I argue that behavioral biology offers three things of immediate use. First, behavioral biology can lay a foundation for both revising bounded rationality and fashioning …


Damages To Deter Police Shootings, W. Kip Viscusi, S. Jeffrey Jul 2001

Damages To Deter Police Shootings, W. Kip Viscusi, S. Jeffrey

Vanderbilt Law School Faculty Publications

Many fatal shootings by police are not warranted. These shootings impose losses on the victims and their families and reflect the failure of existing administrative and legal restraints to deter these unwarranted shootings. This Article proposes a revamping of existing incentives to both provide more adequate compensation to the victims' families and to establish levels of deterrence that are sufficient to curtail unjust fatalities. There are legal criteria for what level of force is "reasonable," but determining reasonableness in practice may be difficult. Practical guidance such as the "21-foot rule" for the threat to warrant a shooting is often problematic. …


Who Owns The Sky?, Gerald Torres Jul 2001

Who Owns The Sky?, Gerald Torres

Cornell Law Faculty Publications

I argue that the public has a current and continuing interest in the air resource. This commonly held interest requires that where the government has sanctioned the private trading of this asset the government must account for the profits of such trades. In short, it is not the government's property to give away. Ancillary benefits associated with cleaner air do not offset the public's interest in the value of the resource, especially where the regulatory scheme has effectively precluded private action in defense of the resource. This does not discount the government's obligation to protect the resource from predation; it …


Preventing The Execution Of The Innocent: Testimony Before The Senate Judiciary Committee, Barry C. Scheck Jul 2001

Preventing The Execution Of The Innocent: Testimony Before The Senate Judiciary Committee, Barry C. Scheck

Articles

The article advocates for federal legislation to address the wrongful conviction of innocent individuals, particularly through postconviction DNA testing. It emphasizes the urgent need for legal reforms to ensure access to DNA testing for all inmates, regardless of their sentence, and highlights the importance of preserving biological evidence, providing adequate funding for competent counsel, and leveraging technological advancements in DNA testing to exonerate the innocent and improve the criminal justice system.

A Primer On Rough Sets: A New Approach To Drawing Conclusions From Data, Zdzisław Pawlak Jul 2001

A Primer On Rough Sets: A New Approach To Drawing Conclusions From Data, Zdzisław Pawlak

Cardozo Law Review

Rough set theory is a new mathematical approach to vague and uncertain data analysis. This Article explains basic concepts of the theory through a simple tutorial example and briefly outlines the application of the method to drawing conclusions from factual data. The presented approach can be used in some kind of legal reasoning.

On The Proof Dynamics Of Inference To The Best Explanation, John R. Josephson Jul 2001

On The Proof Dynamics Of Inference To The Best Explanation, John R. Josephson

Cardozo Law Review

"Inference to the best explanation" - here called "abduction" - is a distinctive and recognizable pattern of evidential reasoning. It is ubiquitous at or near the surface of typical arguments offered in judicial and scientific contexts, and in ordinary life. It is part of "commonsense logic." An abductive argument is open to attack in characteristic ways, and may be defended in characteristic ways by supporting arguments. Abductive arguments are fallible, but there are only a small number of ways in which they can go wrong. This analysis provides a framework for justification, criticism, and dialogue concerning the evaluation of evidence. …

Logical Argumentation, Abduction And Bayesian Decision Theory: A Bayesian Approach To Logical Arguments And Its Application To Legal Evidential Reasoning, David Poole Jul 2001

Logical Argumentation, Abduction And Bayesian Decision Theory: A Bayesian Approach To Logical Arguments And Its Application To Legal Evidential Reasoning, David Poole

Cardozo Law Review

There are good normative arguments for using Bayesian decision theory for deciding what to do. However, there are also good arguments for using logic where we want formal semantics for a language, and where we want to use the structure of logical argumentation with logical variables to represent multiple individuals (things). This Article shows how decision theory and logical argumentation can be combined into a coherent framework. The Independent Choice Logic ("ICL") can be viewed as a first-order representation of belief networks with conditional probability tables represented as first-order rules, or as a abductive/argument-based logic with probabilities over assumables. Intuitively …
