Solving Complex Legal Cases Using the Intuitive System
نویسنده
چکیده
Aim Two major challenges in legal decision making arise from the usually high complexity of the cases and from the high level of uncertainty caused by incomplete or missing information. In most cases it is not possible to apply Bayesian probability calculus, and legal standards prohibit the application of fast-and-frugal heuristics. Based on a connectionist approach to decision making, Simon (2004) argued that decision making in legal decisions is governed by coherence-based reasoning. The underlying parallel constraint satisfaction processes, which belong to the intuitive system, are unconscious and enable individuals to quickly integrate huge amounts of information (Glöckner & Betsch, 2006; 2007). The aim of this work was to test the parallel constraint satisfaction approach to decision making in complex legal cases using U.S. official jury instructions, and to manipulate the standard of proof, the predictive power of evidence and the framing of the legal case.

Algebraic Solving of Complex Interval Linear Systems by Limiting Factors
In this work, we propose a simple method for obtaining the algebraic solution of a complex interval linear system where coefficient matrix is a complex matrix and the right-hand-side vector is a complex interval vector. We first use a complex interval version of the Doolittle decomposition method and then we restrict the Doolittle's solution, by complex limiting factors, to achieve a complex in...

Introduction: Genetic identification is now a standard and efficient method for identifying individuals and investigating claimed kinship cases. Commercial kits based on autosomal STR and YSTR genetic markers are widely used for these investigations.

متن کاملDeveloping a computer tool to train law students to solve cases in administrative law
A common approach in teaching law is to make use of invented cases which have to be solved by students. This is seen as a method of learning the basic legal concepts in a certain field. The problem with this way of teaching is that teachers do not instruct students in how to solve cases in general nor how to solve cases in a specific area. There also is not enough time in the regular curriculum...
متن کاملA new idea for exact solving of the complex interval linear systems
In this paper, the aim is to find a complex interval vector [Z] such that satisfies the complex interval linear system C[Z]=[W]. For this, we present a new method by restricting the general solution set via applying some parameters. The numerical examples are given to show ability and reliability of the proposed method.

Despite significant progress in medicine knowledge, the nature of medical events, unknown existing in medical science and cause of many other reasons, sometimes medical intervention was not successful and caused death or more injuries to patients. Today the theory of physician’s liability based on fault is not an absolute way to solving all related issues to medical events specially in s...
