In the adversarial justice system of the United States, it is often left to the courts to resolve disputes, in particular to determine whether the results of statistical models support or fail to support the legality of the practices that led to the models. Does a model demonstrate discrimination, legitimate differences, a random process? Can this be resolved by competing expert testimony or by reference to previous legal decisions? The heart of statistics is probability, certainty that of the law.
