Book review: the law-science chasm: bridging law’s disaffection with science as evidence

The Law-Science Chasm considers the problematic relationship between science and law, with author Cedric Charles Gilson offering a way to mediate and translate their different perspectives and assumptions. A demanding read with little light relief, but it is a book that will likely appeal to philosophers of law and of science, as well as scholars of the law-science relationship who yearn for the degree of theoretical excavation and reconstruction that is available here, writes Fiona Raitt.
