Explores how a famous trial court judge used rhetorical strategies
to engage the public and the legal community in challenging the
accepted views of the proper roles for the courts and the community
in the pursuit of justice. Analyzes the role of Judge Lord in
stimulating public debate about some well-known and controversial
cases and in doing so helps enrich our understanding of how trial
court judicial rhetoric and opinions can contribute to public
understanding and a fruitful discussion of the law, the courts, and
their relationship to the community. Judge Lord made his opinions
accessible and potentially persuasive to a public auidence through
his attention to judicial personal, argument structures that helped
to maintain a sense of dramatic narrative, the use of plain
language, and the use of substitution, metaphor, and comparison. In
addition to offering practical insights into the operation of trial
courts, judicial persuasion, and the settlement of some important
cases, provides an overview of different judicial approaches to the
use of rhetoric. This in-depth study of a noted judge and important
trials can serve as a useful text for students in law,
communications, public policy, and American studies and will be of
interest to scholars and professionals alike.
