Abstract
While many scholars tout the significance of storytelling in presenting a persuasive case, they have not considered the roles that the relevancy rules play in inhibiting and facilitating the storytelling process. Nor have they addressed how procedural and evidentiary rules have affected the presentation of narratives in the modern trial system. Simply put, these scholars have failed to confront the theories underlying the probabilistic paradigm. In this context, we will address the relationship between the rules of relevancy and narrative theory.
