A Natural History of Legal Argument: Etiology, Elements, and Effects

By Geordie Duckler

This book explores how trial lawyers, driven by self-interest, use argumentation to shape legal and ethical ideals in society through their manipulation of language, people, and objects. It argues that by employing various persuasive styles and deceptive strategies, lawyers influence juries and affect broader legal and communal values.
