Abstract

ABSTRACT When used in legal forums, the persuasive abilities of narrative raise ethical questions. Depending on the jurisdiction, some ethical rules apply to persuasive legal narrative, but these rules establish a minimum standard that does not address how to analyse more nuanced forms of fabrication, such as what kind of inferences can be drawn from evidence to support a narrative. The need to allow lawyers discretion to fashion persuasive cases does not mean that the use of deception by lawyers or law students should be accepted with a shrug. The current lack of guidance to lawyers and students, which contributes to cynicism regarding fact presentation, should be addressed with guidance about how to use persuasive legal narrative in an effective, ethical manner.

有说服力的法律叙述:阐明道德标准

摘要当在法律论坛上使用时，叙事的说服力会引发伦理问题。根据管辖权的不同，一些道德规则适用于有说服力的法律叙述，但这些规则建立了一个最低标准，没有涉及如何分析更细微的捏造形式，例如可以从证据中得出什么样的推论来支持叙述。允许律师自由裁量权审理有说服力的案件的必要性并不意味着律师或法律系学生使用欺骗手段的行为应该被耸耸肩接受。目前缺乏对律师和学生的指导，这导致了对事实陈述的冷嘲热讽，应该通过指导如何以有效、合乎道德的方式使用有说服力的法律叙述来解决这一问题。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
