Abstract
Many legal cases require decisions about causality, responsibility or blame,
and these may be based on statistical data. However, causal inferences from
such data are beset by subtle conceptual and practical difficulties, and in
general it is, at best, possible to identify the "probability of causation" as
lying between certain empirically informed limits. These limits can be refined
and improved if we can obtain additional information, from statistical or
scientific data, relating to the internal workings of the causal processes. In
this paper we review and extend recent work in this area, where additional
information may be available on covariate and/or mediating variables.
