An electronic exchange among 10 evidence scholars that began with a discussion of the restyled Federal Rules and grew into a significant restatement of debates in evidentiary scholarship over the last 50 years, touching on relevance, probative value, inference, Bayesianism and the foundations of evidence, with an introduction by Michael Risinger.
This article reads the Brown v. Board of Education case against the backdrop of the absurdist theater of the 1950s, a genre that flourished both in the art world and in the highly staged experiments of academic social psychology. I consider the case's resonances with the contemporaneous productions of Asch's conformity experiments and Beckett's Waiting for Godot.
