Developing Individualized Best Interests Frames: Scientific and Legal Sensemaking
This workshop introduces the idea of “Best Interests Frames,” a holistic model of the perspective of a party in a child custody case. The workshop will cover development of the Frames through the lens of scientific and legal sensemaking. This concept integrates research from cognitive science on sensemaking with explanatory-based reasoning models and concepts from the legal literatures, and the relative plausibility and inference to the best explanation models on evidence and judicial decision-making.
