9. Safety: An Application

In this final chapter, I bring epistemology to the practical domain of law. As Comesaña (2005) presented a putative counterexample to the necessity of Sosa’s (1999, 2002) safety condition, so I present a putative counterexample to the necessity of the safety condition that Pardo (2010) employs in his work on knowledge and jury verdicts. My aim is not, of course, to falsify the thesis that safety is necessary for knowledge, but rather to advance discussion of the safety condition in philosophy..
