Describes the significance of rhetorical knowledge for law through discussions of legal issues facing courts, such as affirmative action, gay rights, and assisted suicide. Drawing from Chaim Perelman's "new rhetoric" and Hans-Georg Gadamer's "philosophical hermeneutics," this book argues that justice is a product of rhetorical knowledge.
