| Summary |
Legal argument involves a search for reasons which resonate. These reasons are often derived from various sources other than domestic legal principles, sources which include history, morality, economics, philosophy, psychology, human rights discourse and international legal or commercial thought and practice |
| Notes |
"Continuing the approach adopted in our previous collection Rediscovering Rhetoric, the essays approach the various topics from the perspectives of both the advocate and the judge ... The collection originated in a series of seven seminars given to the New South Wales Bar Association between March and June 2010"--P. vii |
