{{Main|Relevance (law)}}
The meaning of "relevance" in U.S. law is reflected in Rule 401 of the [[Federal Rules of Evidence]]. That rule defines relevance as "having any tendency to make the existence of any fact that is of consequence to the determinations of the action more probable or less probable than it would be without the evidence". In other words, if a fact were to have no bearing on the truth or falsity of a conclusion, it would be legally irrelevant.
