This is the first study of the practice of judicial summing-up to
juries and of its 'survey of the evidence' as rhetoric, persuasive
language, in the Crown Courts of England and Wales.
The transcripts of judicial summings-up to a jury can vary from
a few to hundreds of pages, and are significant in that they break
the flow between advocates' turn-taking, especially their final
speeches, and the deliberation of the jury. In addition to its
linguistic and rhetorical concerns, the book considers this
practice of summing up as a legal problem - as unrecognized
advocacy - and examines alternatives, such as the US States',
Canadian and Scottish models. The Scottish model is prescribed for
consideration by Anglo-Welsh judges with its insistence on
parsimonious reference to the disputed narrative, only where
relevant to the legal issues on which instruction is being
given.
