This course for Legal Management students provides

the students principles and applications of
communications in general and persuasive speech in
particular. It covers the canons of rhetoric and some
central ideas of both classical and modern theory that aids
student with an approach to public speaking and develop
a rhetorical perspective.

MATTER
Matter refers to the raw material which you use to construct
your arguments - the facts or evidence upon which your case is
based. Matter includes such things as quotes, statistics, facts and
evidence that you may be able to put forward to prove or further
your own team case.

METHOD
Method is the structure or organization of your speech, and
how it fits into your team's case as a whole. There are three major
components of method: internal method, team method, and how
your speech reacts to the dynamics of the debate.

MANNER
Manner is the way in which you deliver your speech. It includes
everything that goes towards the presentation of your speech.

ARTICLE.
One should not underestimate the importance of delivery.
After all, speaking is what makes a speech distinctive
from other forms of communication. Audiences believe that
nonverbal impressions are more reliable indicators of
whether a speaker is being honest. To appreciate more fully the
importance of delivery, one should merely think about how often
one assesses others on the basis of how they look or behave.

One can develop such differences in meaning in writing, but

the typical way we develop meaning from the written word
is to actually hear the words spoken as we read--the writer
expects us to insert the appropriate inflections because the
writer knows that we will. Developing a repertoire of
similar techniques to convey meaning is the reason
one talks about delivery. This aspect of delivery is
developed more fully in the section on the differences
between oral and written communication.

Do not, however, assume that there is a "formula" for

effective delivery. The most effective speakers are ones that
use their natural gestures and idiosyncrasies to their best
advantage. Trying to mimic the delivery of others is selfdefeating: audiences will detect the unnaturalness of a
borrowed technique and assume that the speaker is not
being sincere. Delivery is a highly personal matter:

there is no standard form of delivery and

everyone should tailor his or her speech to
personal strengths and weaknesses.

WORKSHOP 1 REALLY?
Oral communication is also significantly richer than the
written language because of delivery. Speakers can use
more than words to convey meaning. Think about the
following examples:
I've just lost my job.(horror)
REALLY?
You need to get a new hair style.(annoyance)
REALLY?
Your work is quite good. (pleasure)
REALLY?
We'll finish on time. (disbelief)
REALLY?
I'm not looking forward to meeting him.(sarcasm) REALLY?
