# rhetoric — Legal Counsel

For Legal Counsel, rhetoric isn't about flowery speeches; it’s the *precise* art of crafting communication that achieves a specific legal outcome. Daily tasks like drafting contracts, briefs, memos, or even emails require tailoring language to persuade (a judge, opposing counsel), inform clearly (clients about risk), or motivate action (internal stakeholders to comply). Think beyond 'correctness' – it’s about anticipating how your words will be *received* and interpreted within a legal framework. Tools include strong grammar/style guides, but crucially, understanding legal precedent as rhetorical building blocks: citing cases isn't just proof, it's leveraging established authority to bolster your argument.
