Motives in Law: An Adaptation of Legal Realism.

Hample, Dale

Journal of the American Forensic Association, v15 n3 p156-68 Win 1979

Legal realism is used to illuminate the motivational character of the rhetorical actions comprising the law. Re-examines traditional sources of rhetoric in this light and finds them to be inadequate to provide a full view of legal actions. Outlines what such a full view of legal motives would involve.
