Thesis
The persuasive advocate? Persuasion in legal advocacy and the role of the audience in determining persuasion
Honours, Murdoch University
2012
Abstract
This paper argues that the beliefs, attitudes and behaviour of the audience determine the effect of any persuasive communication. As a result of this, legal advocates must inquire into the beliefs, attitudes and behaviour of judges and juries (amongst other audiences) and must reject traditional ideas of persuasion being a quality inherent in a legal advocate.
