Description

Understanding the shift in mindset required for legal studies is a major hurdle for many students. Beth Mertz provides a unique look into the intellectual transformation known as learning to think like a lawyer. This book examines how students learn to approach conflicts through new ways of speaking and writing. By analyzing the specific ways professors use language during lectures and examinations, Mertz explores how this process of mental change actually works. This study is based on linguistic research using tape recordings from the author's own first year of law school. It offers a rare look at the spoken and written communication that shapes a legal education. For anyone interested in the linguistics of legal training and the way law students develop their professional voice, this work from Oxford University Press provides a detailed perspective on the educational experience.
