Because they respect the complexity of reality and yet facilitate meaningful decisionmaking, Professor Sherwin argues, affirmative postmodern narratives offer an alternative way for the law to define truth and justice. Affirmative postmodern tales embrace the multiplicity and complexity of details, but they orient their audience within a shared cultural storyline-a popular myth, a stock metaphor, a familiar character type-that allows one to create meaning out of the mass of information presented.

As an alternative to orthodox linear narratives, which reach closure only by concealing or denying inconsistent details, and to skeptical postmodern narratives, which never reach closure or even attempt to make sense of their details, Professor Sherwin urges lawyers and legal scholars to engage in 'affirmative postmodern' storytelling. Sherwin examines the interplay of a traditional linear story with a discursive postmodern story in Errol Morris' film 'The Thin Blue Line.' Professor Sherwin concludes that Morris' linear tale effectively eclipses the uncertainties introduced by its acausal counterplot, and he attributes the failure of this second story to the more general epistemological failure of skeptical postmodernism. Faced with such important tasks as ascertaining truth and promoting justice, this audience will favor storylines that offer meaningful resolution.

Although these stories replicate our experience of the quick-cut image sequences that define contemporary popular culture, they can have only limited persuasive force in the legal arena when they prevent their audience from reaching articulable, justifiable conclusions. Postmodern storytellers can fashion narratives that convey many different, yet equally convincing, visions of reality.
