A Risk-Based Regulatory Framework for Algorithm Auditing: Rethinking Who, When, and What
No full textEnsnared by Custom: Mary Astell and the American Bar Association on Female Autonomy
No full textRhetoric—the arts of practical discourse that we broadly define as the use of symbols to influence belief and action—has something to say about contemporary legal theory and practice. Law and rhetoric in the West were born together nearly 2500 years ago in the Mediterranean. American law has eschewed its rhetorical roots since the late nineteenth century.

Each essay here makes a connection between one or more significant texts on rhetoric and contemporary legal texts.https://ir.law.utk.edu/book_chapters/1045/thumbnail.jp
