Description
With a practical focus on persuasive writing strategy, Michael R. Smith identifies and explores three processes of persuasive writing—logos, pathos, and ethos—and provides a thorough introduction to the elements of rhetorical style.
Using detailed how-to guides and plenty of examples, the author’s distinctive approach to persuasive writing examines:
- technical aspects of rhetorical style: metaphor, literary allusion, figures of speech, and graphic design
- three basic processes of persuasive legal writing strategy:
- Logos: logic and rational argument
- Pathos: value-based argument
- Ethos: establishing credibility
- interdisciplinary contributions to persuasive writing from fields such as cognitive psychology, classical rhetoric, and morality theory
- effective strategies that extend beyond the trial or appellate brief to a broad range of documents and settings
In the Second Edition, the reader will find:
- a new organization that puts a greater emphasis on practice and relatively less on theory for each of the three processes of persuasive writing strategy
- a new six-Part organization:
- I. Introduction
- II. Logos Strategies
- III. Pathos Strategies
- IV. Ethos Strategies
- V. Rhetorical Style
- VI. The Ethics and Morality of Persuasion
- coverage of new developments in cognitive psychology, Pathos persuasion, and the role of metaphor in persuasive legal writing.
- the same manageable length
For a complete examination of the technique and strategy behind persuasive writing, Smith’s text strikes the right balance of depth and scope for upper-level legal writing courses.
