Persuasion in the Courtroom

Authors

William C. Costopoulos

Abstract

Persuasion is defined as "an act of influencing the minds of others by arguments or reasons, by appeals to both feeling and intellect; it is the art of leading another man's will to a particular choice, or course of conduct." No one doubts this is what trial lawyers do every day in the courtroom-and that is what this article is about.
