My Dear Colleagues,
On January 28-29, 2007, Cardozo School of Law will host a conference on graphic and visual representations of evidence and inference in legal settings. A list of panelists and a detailed program are available at http://tillers.net/conference.html.
Advance registration is not required. Furthermore, there is no conference registration fee. However, you may wish to join the panelists for on-site lunches and dinners. If you wish to do so (and you are warmly encouraged to do so), you must sign up and pay for these on-site meals in advance. The conference web page – see the bottom of the conference web page – tells you how to sign up and where to send your money.
This should be an interesting conference, and it may even prove to be a very important one. The topic of visualization provides a powerful (and entertaining) window on the relationships between logic, judgment, intuition, and persuasion in the domain of evidence and inference in legal settings.
Some of the panelists will do a show-and-tell; i.e., they will demonstrate their systems for analyzing or representing evidential inference. This, I think, is a good thing – because these demonstrations will test the mettle of different theoretical perspectives on forensic evidence, inference, and proof.
Sincerely yours,
Peter Tillers
P.S. What is “visualization”? My sense is that for most purposes sightless people can “visualize.”
