In Regard to Epistemology, Law and Philosophy Have Different Approaches

 It isn’t a terribly good idea to conflate philosophy and law. It’s a bad idea to bring psychology in as well. Law is about material relationships and violations of criminal laws one side, and of civil law and procedures on the other. It does have a foundation of naive realism rather than some kind of E8 octodimensional theoretical basis etc.

There are definite rules for evidence and other legal concerns well established with precedence and codified. Those legal procedures may improve over time with social experience. For instance lex talionis and float tests are no longer valid in German courts as they were in the day of Tacitus.
