Advocacy Words: A Thesaurus - William Drennan
Words are the tools of our trade; an effective attorney knows how to verbally paint the picture they want others to see. Advocacy Words: A Thesaurus, by William Drennan, is a little book which will help you find just the right word. It has two separate word lists, “Favorable-Critical” and “Critical-Favorable”, which suggest alternative words that “spin” your original word into your side of the argument. So why let the prosecution call your client “cowardly” when you can say she’s “prudent”. Check the book out for more word tips like this, K50 .D74 2005. (Post – Stacy)
