Constitutional Law as Fiction: narrative in the rhetoric of authority

by Lewis H. LaRue

This book is part of the study of rhetoric in human affairs. As I have already stated, I contend that judicial opinions contain fictions and that these fictions make the opinions persuasive. Since rhetoric is the study of persuasive speech and writing, it follows that rhetoric is the category into which my book should be pigeonholed. - From the Introduction, by the author.
