Rhetoric And The Rule Of Law
Discusses theories of legal reasoning and provides an overall view of the rhetoric of legal justification. This book shows how and why lawyers arguments can be rationally persuasive even though rarely, if ever, logically conclusive or compelling. It examines the role of "legal syllogism" and universality of legal reasoning.
