Evidence-based thinking is used in the field of law.
Evidence-based thinking is a mental process that uses the best available evidence to make sound decisions. It uses inferences to the best explanations. It is often used in many fields, including science, engineering, healthcare, law, education, and business.
Evidence-based thinking process
Evidence-based thinking involves:[1][2]
1. Collecting sufficient evidence to make sound decisions
2. Making sound decisions using: prioritization of facts over mere opinions, weighing evidence using the evidence-based arguments/propositions, logic, critical thinking and avoiding biases (See also: Cognitive bias and Logical fallacies).
3. Engaging in fact checking.
4. Challenging assumptions.
