The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

"Wrong side of the tracks": Big Data and Protected Categories (2014, background): “2See, for example, the essay [3] or the review [4], and referen ces therein, for the role of causality in legal reasoning; more broadly, a key reason for the analysis of causat ion in general is its role in ethical concepts such as responsibility [5].”
Spreading the blame: The allocation of responsibility amongst multiple agents. (2010, unknown): “Attributing responsibility is a commonplace activity that has attracted widespread research in psychology (Alicke, 2000; Hilton, McClure, & Slugoski, 2005; Lagnado & Channon, 2008; Shaver, 1985), philosophy (Hart & Honoré, 1959/1985) and law (Moore, 2009).”
Causal Responsibility and Counterfactuals (2013, background): “There have been various attempts to solve this problem, but it is doubtful that the simple counterfactual account has the resources to deal with such cases, or a whole class of related problems (pre-emption, double prevention, trumping, see Collins et al., 2004; Moore, 2009).”
Causal Reasoning and Large Language Models: Opening a New Frontier for Causality (2023, background): “But humans tend to judge that Mike’s bumping the table caused the beer to spill and that Peter’s bump-ing into Jack, the double preventer, did not Chang (2009); Lombrozo (2010); Moore (2009).”
