Empirical methods are not gobbledygook! Lawyers and judges need to understand them. This guide for the perplexed is amazing - it's wonderfully clear, it's beautifully written, and it's one-stop shopping. * Cass R. Sunstein, Harvard University, and author of How to Interpret the Constitution * This is the best introductory book on empirical methods for the lay reader I have seen. It uses fascinating examples from the real world of litigation, avoiding jargon and math while clearly explaining technical terms and the fundamental intuitions behind regression analysis and other statistical techniques. It should be on the desk of every lawyer and judge, and anyone else who is interested in empirical methods. * Eric Posner, University of Chicago Law School *
