Lewis Ross (London School of Economics & Political Science (LSE) - London School of Economics) has published "Recent Work on the Proof Paradox" on SSRN. Here is the abstract:
Recent years have seen fresh impetus brought to debates about the proper role of
statistical evidence in the law. Recent work largely centres on a set of puzzles known as
the ‘proof paradox’. While these puzzles may initially seem academic, they have
important ramifications for the law: raising key conceptual questions about legal proof,
and practical questions about DNA evidence. This article introduces the proof paradox,
why we should care about it, and new work attempting to resolve it.
