Abstract

In this paper I answer to some replies raised by Florencia Rimoldi and Rachel Herdy to my paper “The Institutional Design of Expert Evidence. Remarks on the Inferential Reasoning of Experts and Judicial Comprehension”. As the title indicates, basically I argue that when we analyze expert evidence as a whole, there is (or should be) a division of cog- nitive labor among judges, parties, experts and the communities to which they belong.
