From the Paper:
"The purpose of this paper is to perform a rhetorical analysis on Clarence Darrow's closing speech in his own defense, given on August 14 and 15, 1912. It will evaluate the effectiveness of the speech in terms of his winning an acquittal of the charges of suborning bribery of a juror in another case, but also in terms of his overall goals as a lawyer.Introduction
This specific speech was chosen for analysis for two reasons. First, it is clear that the speech was effective as a defense speech, because Darrow was acquitted; hence, an analysis can focus on why the speech was effective in this way. Second, the speech is nevertheless a tour de force. In other cases he argued, Darrow was in no personal danger if he lost the case, but in this situation he was in great danger; he would have gone to prison.."
