This book provides a practical approach to the legal thinking and speaking techniques based on the insights of contemporary legal theory and offers exercises to practice them. At the same time, it serves as an introduction to modern rhetoric. Legal rhetoric has been overshadowed today. Its place has been taken, unjustly, by a descriptive-critical legal theory that must contend with the objection of addressing the wrong subject at the wrong time in the wrong way. In contrast, rhetoric must be reinstated to its rightful place. This book explains why this is the case and how it should be accomplished.
