    Abstract

    In this article, we aim analyse whether a systematic method for reasoning with evidence in legal cases – the hybrid theory of stories and arguments – can be applied to a novel legal domain, namely European asylum law. This analysis serves as a case study for testing the applicability of the hybrid theory outside of the context of criminal law. Furthermore, the analysis will provide insights on how the hybrid theory can be used to improve the normative framework for evidence assessment in asylum cases.
