Forensic epistemology: Difference between revisions

{{a|devil|}}The law is uncommonly concerned with what a fellow knows, ought to know, might not know or does not know. These we regard as questions of practical epistemology. They come in two flavours: those that determine ones liability should things go wrong, and those that determine how much one knew could go wrong, and how upset one’s clients are likely to be if it does go wrong. The second logically precedes the first. This proceeds from the JC’s maxim: [[Your goal is not to win litigation but avoid it|your goal is not to ''win'' litigation with your customers, but avoid it]]
