What is it about?
Research on legal fact-finding increasingly suggests that the process is comparative in nature. Comparative models of fact-finding solve some problems, but also pose new ones. This paper discusses two important challenges that will need to be addressed in future work on comparative fact-finding.

Why is it important?
The challenges discussed in this paper are critical hurdles that a theory of comparative fact-finding must meet if it is to credibly describe the full scope of legal fact-finding.
Perspectives
I hope that this paper motivates the future research necessary to address remaining challenges for comparative accounts of legal fact-finding.
