The essay deals with certain problems concerning the logical structure of evidential inferences. First of all, certain premises are expounded, mainly about the nature and the function of evidence in connection with the theories of judicial decisions. The core of the essay is then devoted to the analysis of such inferences, based mainly upon the inferential model proposed by Toulmin. This model is used in order to examine the most important and frequent situations in which complex sets of inferences are necessary to achieve a rationally justified decision. The final part is devoted specifically to the problem of statistical evidence in general and in cases of toxic torts.
