Lately, I have been thinking about going to law school. So,
for my photo essay I would like to do digital rhetoric and writing in the
courtroom. Law practice has been
fairly consistent in its usage in rhetoric and writing but because of the
increase in technology, digital usage has been increasing in the courtroom. My
photo essay will address the following questions: What usages of digital
rhetoric and writing are present in today’s courtrooms? How are these digital
usages used in favor of the defense and the prosecution?
I am relatively unfamiliar with courtroom rhetoric and
writing, especially in terms of digital usage. This project will be more of a
discovery/ informational project for me and anyone else that may be interested
in law. I am interested in this
because I want to pursue law in the future but also because I believe rhetoric
is one of the most important tools for a lawyer. I want to explore this topic because I believe it will be
helpful to me in the future. I could do some random project centered only on
this class but instead I thought I would do something useful for my future.
A lot of my research will come from the Internet especially
academic databases. Some of my other research will come from law journals and
case studies. Case studies will help my project observing what digital and
rhetoric usages lead to a victory in the courtroom. Some of my secondary research could be to observe a court
case at the Gallatin county court house or to do an interview with an actual
lawyer. Ideally, I would like to learn
some rhetorical techniques that might help me in the future.
