Primes

• Narrative
  • Law: Trial advocacy assembles evidence into a competing "story of the case" that jurors can find coherent; mock-jury research shows that jurors who can construct a plausible story from the evidence reach more confident verdicts, and the side whose evidence supports the better story tends to prevail.

Verification

Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.

Does it back the claim? Not recorded. The single citation of this work carries no recorded support check.

Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
