* Lecturer in Law, SUNY Buffalo Law School. This article had its genesis during an informal discussion of Gerald Lopez’s Lay Lawyering at the third biennial Applied Legal Storytelling conference, and I am grateful to Linda Edwards for encouraging me to read one of her articles and write about my own ideas. I am also deeply grateful to Christine Bartholomew, Guyora Binder, John Schlegel, Jim Gardner, Lynne Mather, Lise Gelernter, and Joe Gerkin for their insightful feedback on a draft of this article, and to SUNY Buffalo Law School for supporting the work with a summer research grant.
