In its legal writing curriculum and other programs, Mercer's School of Law is committed to helping build the intellectual community with common interests in the scholarship, teaching, and practice of legal rhetoric.
The Law & Rhetoric e-Journal distributes working and accepted paper abstracts whose focus is the rhetoric of law or the legal rhetorical process. The e-Journal encourages submissions based on rhetorical theory and analysis; these terms are broadly understood to include classical and contemporary rhetorical theory, rhetorical hermeneutics, composition theory, communication studies, English and writing studies, linguistics, cognitive metaphor theory, narrative theory, and critical literary theory. Works drawing on diverse perspectives and methods are welcome.
