A significant problem within the legal profession is that many of the lawyers litigating cases and the judges deciding them have only a limited understanding of how to properly interpret empirical evidence.

Trial by Numbers provides an easy way for members of the legal profession to acquire a basic understanding of the most common methods that serve as the building blocks for empirical evidence in academic articles, policy briefs, and expert witness reports. Adam Chilton and Kyle Rozema take a different approach to other introductory books on empirical methods, omitting the formulas and equations found in other books, and instead focusing on explaining the intuition and logic of common empirical methods. The work also exclusively use examples that are relevant to law school and legal practice.

Industry Reviews

"Empirical methods are not gobbledygook! Lawyers and judges need to understand them. This guide for the perplexed is amazing - it's wonderfully clear, it's beautifully written, and it's one-stop shopping." -- Cass R. Sunstein, Harvard University, and author of How to Interpret the Constitution "This is the best introductory book on empirical methods for the lay reader I have seen. It uses fascinating examples from the real world of litigation, avoiding jargon and math while clearly explaining technical terms and the fundamental intuitions behind regression analysis and other statistical techniques. It should be on the desk of every lawyer and judge, and anyone else who is interested in empirical methods." -- Eric Posner, University of Chicago Law School
