These theories are considered in the context of issues arising in evidential adjudication, including： the ＂Mirror of Evidence,＂ truth, the probability of proof standard, the choice between a notion of pursuing 100-percent certainty in adjudication and that wrongful acquittals are better than wrongful convictions, and the statutory proof doctrine comparedwith the system of free proof.
