Abstract
This paper draws attention to the increasing role statistics is playing in the courts. The assessment of scientific evidence is often couched in terms of probabilities as measures of uncertainty. It is crucial that probabilistic calculations are accurate and that common fallacies are avoided. Bayes’ theorem and Bayesian Networks are fundamental tools of the kind of probability calculus which is of interest to courts in determining complex cases.
