What was the time of death of the victim?

Is the defendant the father of the child? Are hiring practices in company X discriminatory? 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 webinar will provide a base of knowledge in important statistical topics, and have immediate practical application in the courtroom.

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.
