Moral Foundation Theory as the Basis for Legal Argument Themes
Second Draft (2019)
  • Jennifer North
Abstract
During the second semester of 1L year, many law school curriculums dive into persuasive writing and oral advocacy. This is usually the first time students are introduced to themes, and aside from presenting a persuasive narrative of a hypothetical problem, they are asked to find the "right" solution. This is beyond what the precedent may call for; this is advocating on behalf of a client or cause for the most "just" outcome. This puts students in touch with making real-world arguments- arguments that win cases.
