Public Epistemic Authority

Laux, Johann Moritz·2022·Mohr Siebeck eBooks

Abstract

Every court claims authority. Normative scholars assess the legitimacy of those claims. Public Epistemic Authority provides a new perspective on this task by drawing on mechanisms of collective intelligence and comparing courts reliability as decision-makers to that of other branches of government.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
