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.
