Questions such as these arise frequently in criminal and civil cases and require the admission of statistical evidence. In order to fulfill their gatekeeping role, judges must understand statistical evidence.

This 75-minute online course is part of a Webinar Series focusing on “Core Skills for Judges” aimed at new state court judges, but may also include administrative law judges, tribal court judges and military judges.
