The numerous rhetorical practices used by lawyers in courtroom argument can be categorized according to three types of effects they may have on the structure of a case. This simplification of discourse in the courtroom shows how the body of evidence in a case is organized for judgment by jurors. Within this framework the trial becomes an elegant communication system centered around the rhetorical construction of "legal facts."
