Abstract
Impartiality is one of the core values underlying the
administration of justice. A complaint about a judge’s supposed lack of
impartiality may be filed on the grounds of the judge’s verbal behavior. In this
article I will analyze complaints that concern the judge’s use of rhetorical
questions during court hearings. I will explore what role these complaints may
play in the strategic maneuvering of a party who seeks the judge’s
disqualification.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Argumentation in Context aims to publish high-quality papers about the role of argumentation in the various kinds of argumentative practices that have come into being in social life. These practices include, for instance, political, legal, medical, financial, commercial, academic, educational, problem-solving, and interpersonal communication. In all cases certain aspects of such practices will be analyzed from the perspective of argumentation theory with a view of gaining a better understanding of certain vital characteristics of these practices. This means that the journal has an empirical orientation and concentrates on real-life argumentation but is at the same time out to publish only papers that are informed by relevant insights from argumentation theory.
