Abstract
This survey identifies and reviews the main approaches to modeling legal evidence: pure probabilistic deduction, the omission model, endogenous cost signaling, and correlated private information. The central mechanic of each approach is described and applications are provided. Approaches are evaluated and compared. Attempts to combine approaches are also examined.
