Reviews

'This book provides three extended readings of a single legal case, in which Professor Ranney tests the rhetorical possibilities of three schools of legal theory. Each reading is extensively developed, demonstrating her knowledge of the history of law, theories of legal interpretation, and contemporary legal theorists. The book is ambitious and elegantly designed; the treatment is intelligent, purposeful, and well informed.' Professor Carolyn Miller, North Carolina State University, USA 'Frances Ranney's Aristotle's Ethics and Legal Rhetoric. An Analysis of Language beliefs and the Law treats an important subject in a thoughtful way. Because of the consistency of her methodological work, Ranney not only provides theoretical and empirical data for further study but also produces wisdom in a just, rhetorical, and useful way.'
