Retórica jurídica

Abstract

The legal rhetoric is a technique of argument and a way to build the truth. The legal rhetoric suggested in the article conceives language as a process of construction of the linguistic competence (understood as the ability of the subject to act linguistically), and is considered the cornerstone of the legal discursive practices. We stipulate that he legal discourse language is a construction in constantly giving, opposing us to the idea of language as a given.
