A formal process of examining evidence marshaled in the service of arguments supporting/refuting a claim sounds practically equivalent to most forms of determining truth. Because it is.
Not only that, but there are segments of the law where truth is explicitly invoked, ie "truth is an absolute defense against defamation."
