Abstract:
The study of law and emotion is seen as a comparatively new discipline, yet the use of what would now be called ‘emotional intelligence’ in the practice of law has a very long history, as the famous Judgment of Solomon shows. This is particularly true of rhetoric, or the art of persuasion, which for many centuries formed one of the foundational pillars of study not only for lawyers and jurists but for a liberal education generally. Though in recent years the study of rhetoric has undergone something of a revival, most notably in the context of media studies, little has been done to integrate this in the broader context of law and emotion. Drawing on Terry Maroney’s influential taxonomy of law and emotion scholarship published in 2006, this paper sets out to explore how this might best be done.
