Walton focuses in this new book on how reasoning operates in trials and other legal contexts, with special emphasis on the law of evidence. This dialogical model gives new meaning to the key notions of relevance and probative weight, with the latter analyzed in terms of pragmatic criteria for what constitutes plausible evidence rather than truth.
