discussion with Drs. *Richard Shiffrin *(Indiana University,
Bloomington), *Stephen
Stigler* (The University of Chicago), and *Kathleen Hall Jamieson* (The
University of Pennsylvania) on their paper, “The Weighing of Evidence
Requires Expert Judgment and Consensus.” The discussion will be moderated
by *Linda Greenhouse *(Joseph Goldstein Lecturer in Law, Senior Research
Scholar in Law, and Knight Distinguished Journalist in Residence at Yale
University and President of the American Philosophical Society).

The symposium will conclude on Friday, June 12 at 3:00pm EDT with a final
