Abstract
- This paper proposes a novel thought-experiment, the ‘Turing litigation game’ – or ‘Turing game’ for short. Specifically, we propose replacing the existing arcane and archaic systems of civil and criminal procedure with a simple and probabilistic litigation game resembling the Turing Test from the world of computer science. The paper is divided into six sections. Section 1 provides a brief introduction. Section 2 provides some background by describing the original Turing Test and explaining how the Turing Test resembles the process of adjudication. Section 3 then describes our proposed Turing litigation game and identifies the conditions for implementing this alternative approach to litigation, while Section 4 introduces the possibility of probabilistic verdicts (as opposed to the traditional system of binary verdicts). Section 5 reviews (and refutes) several philosophical objections against our Turing-game concept. Section 6 concludes. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
