The cost of persuasion: figure, story, and eloquence in the rhetoric of judicial discourse -- Pure and impure styles: formalism and pragmatism in the language of decision writing -- The perils of analogy: legal world-making and judicial self fashioning in Palsgraf v. Long Island Railroad -- Murder, they wrote: the rhetoric of causation in the language of the law -- Narrative theory and the art of judgment: the anatomy of a Supreme Court decision -- The look in his eyes: Rusk v. State, State v. Rusk -- Rhetoric, philosophy, and law -- Postscript: rhetoric, postmodernism, and skepticism.
