Abstract

The article critiques the arguments presented by Professors Kevelson and Goodrich, who challenge the undervaluing of rhetoric in legal thought. While acknowledging their originality, the critique questions Kevelson's notion of property as rhetoric, raising concerns about the ownership and originality of ideas. It also challenges Goodrich's assertion that modern legal discourse excludes rhetoric, arguing that his perspective may be underinformed due to his lack of training in American law. The article ultimately suggests that rhetoric remains present in legal discourse but is often dismissed or unacknowledged.
