Rhetoric and judicial eloquence

Abstract

With the revival of jury trial in Russia, the need to draw close attention to the speech skills of court orators has become more acute, because the opinion and decision of the jury will largely depend on how clearly, logically, convincingly and expressively the lawyer who speaks in the court debate will express his point of view on the degree of guilt of the defendant. Judicial eloquence will be understood as a set of knowledge and skills of a lawyer to prepare and deliver a public court speech in accordance with the requirements of the law of criminal procedure, as the ability to build an objectively reasoned reasoning, forming scientific and legal beliefs, as the ability to influence the legal consciousness of people.
