FRE 401 Relevant evidence means evidence having any tendency to make the existence of any fact that is of consequence to the determination of the action more probable or less probable than it would be without the evidence.

Relevance: 2 Relationships Between 3 Things Proffered Evidence A Fact The Legal Outcome Probative Value Materiality

Example: Wrongful Death Case - No Recovery for Survivor Grief Proffered Evidence Survivor Suffered Grief Survivor Gets More Damages Fact Legal Outcome Makes Fact SML Affects Legal Outcome Survivor was sad

What’s Wrong With This? Proffered Evidence Survivor Suffered Grief Survivor Gets More Damages Fact Legal Outcome Makes Fact SML Affects Legal Outcome Survivor was sad No Recovery for Survivor Grief

If the evidence is offered to prove a fact but that fact does not have an effect on the legal outcome, we say that the evidence is Immaterial

Change the Fact That the Evidence is Offered to Prove Proffered Evidence Survivor Suffered $$ Loss Survivor Gets More Damages Fact Legal Outcome Makes Fact SML Affects Legal Outcome Survivor was sad

What’s Wrong This Time? Proffered Evidence Survivor Suffered $$ Loss Survivor Gets More Damages Fact Legal Outcome Makes Fact SML Affects Legal Outcome Survivor was sad

If the proffered evidence does not make a particular fact more or less likely, we say that the evidence is Not Probative
