Deepest thanks to the organizers of and participants at the Applied Legal Storytelling Conference, Chapter 3: Trail Blazing on the Great Divide, held at the Sturm College of Law at the University of Denver, where many of the ideas behind this article were initially presented and debated; to Melody Daily, Susan Bay, Joan Magat, Ruth Anne Robbins, and other editors of this journal for their thoughtful comments, patience, and hard work; to my research assistant, Robbie Scott; to my son Ronan and daughter Kelsey for creating the space for me to work on this project from home; and to my wife, Eileen, for patiently allowing me to point out the narrativity in everything around us, even during our precious date nights.
