Chance and LitigationF.E. Guerra-PujolBarry University - Dwayne O. Andreas School of Law; Pontifical Catholic University of Puerto Rico September 28, 2011 Boston University Public Interest Law Journal, Vol. 21, No. 1, Fall 2011 Abstract: Is the litigation game as random as a coin toss? In this paper, the author presents the results of his preliminary research regarding the randomness of litigation. Specifically, the author formulates and then test his “random litigation hypothesis”: the conjecture that the litigation game is a random process with just two possible outcomes, like a coin toss, and that the litigants to a dispute are essentially playing a game of chance when they submit their dispute to a court for resolution.
