This project aims to use formal epistemology to improve understanding of existing legal practices and to propose recommendations for improving the consistency and accuracy of legal proceedings. Since judges and juries rarely know all the relevant facts, they must make the best decision possible in the face of uncertainty. Formal epistemology employs probabilistic reasoning to advance understanding of how to form beliefs and make decisions in response to uncertain evidence. The project has potential to influence the relevant policy and will result in improved legal reasoning and risk reduction in legal decision making.

该项目旨在利用正式认识论来提高对现有法律的实践的理解，并提出提高法律的程序的一致性和准确性的建议。由于法官和陪审团很少知道所有相关事实，他们必须在不确定性面前做出最好的决定。形式认识论采用概率推理来促进对如何形成信念和做出决策以应对不确定证据的理解。该项目有可能影响相关政策，并将导致改进法律的推理和降低法律的决策风险。
