Abstract
Posner suggests in his Economic Analysis of Law that the criterion of economic efficiency provides a basis for burden of proof rules, and, in particular, a basis for the preponderance test. This paper also examines the preponderance test in light of the criterion of economic efficiency, but with somewhat different results.
