• TITLE: Evidence-Based Law: A New Approach to Legal Practice under the Scope of the Pragmatic Methodologies of Evidence-Based Medicine

  AUTHORS: Douglas Henrique Marin dos Santos, Andréa Bueno Magnani

  KEYWORDS: Evidence-Based Medicine, Evidence-Based Law, Predictability

  JOURNAL NAME: Beijing Law Review, Vol.15 No.3, September 26, 2024

  ABSTRACT: This paper aims to establish the relationship between Evidence-Based Medicine (EBM) methodologies and Law. It proposes the methodological application of EBM principles to legal interventions. Systematic reviews and trials may incorporate prediction and monitoring of many variables within complex social environments, in order to ensure and establish the relationship between intervention and qualitative and quantitative outcomes. The incorporation of evidence-based methodologies into legal practice underscores the potential for a more scientifically grounded approach to judicial decision-making. Evidence-Based Law (EBL) aims to reduce uncertainty and improve the predictability and fairness of legal outcomes through empirical research. This approach advocates for the use of objective scientific data to guide judicial decisions and policy, thereby reducing the impacts of personal biases and ideological influences.
