Careful analyses of genres such as witness examination and the judge's summing-up reveal a strategic tension between a desire to persuade the jury and the need to conform to legal constraints. The book also suggests ways of managing this tension linguistically to help, not hinder, the jury.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2005-01-01\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e ISBN-10: 9781349521371\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781349521371\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1057\/9780230502888\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 216cm x140cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 253\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Palgrave Macmillan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44317713531020,"sku":"9781349521371","price":99.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781349521371_0f6aae61-22a3-45a5-a1c9-d2c50797d2d7.jpg?v=1755013521","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781349521371","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
