Legal rhetoric in the activity of a criminal lawyer

The significance of a lawyer's protective speech in criminal proceedings cannot be overestimated, since it sums up the long investigation process. The fate of his client will depend on the level of training of a lawyer, on his persuasion abilities, as well as on the psychological techniques used by him. The advocate’s defensive speech in the judicial debate of the criminal process has a one-sided orientation -upholding the rights and legitimate interests of the defendant.
