[Forum SIS] RSS guide Statistics and probability for advocates

[julia mortera]

The Royal Statistical Society and the Inns of Court College of Advocacy 
(ICCA) have just published a guide to statistics specifically for 
barristers and others working in the legal profession, to coincide with 
European Statistics Day.

The 75-page guide, /Statistics and probability for advocates: 
Understanding the use of statistical evidence in courts and 
tribunals///(_published on the RSS website_ 
<https://www.rss.org.uk/statslawguide>) provides a brief overview of 
statistics when applied in courts of law, and it is hoped that it will 
help lawyers assess their evidence critically, therefore enabling them 
to challenge any interpretation of statistics or probability statements 
where there may be cause for concern.
