Debate Eloquence Principles

Arguments are an important part of litigation. Except for individual cases, lawyers participate in litigation arguments. The lawyer's position in litigation is different from that of other litigation participants and has its own particularities. In addition to following the basic principles of various lawsuits, lawyers' eloquence in argumentation also has its own unique principles. These principles are:;

First, the principle of seeking truth from facts.

Seeking truth from facts is one of the basic ideological lines and fine traditions of our country’s party and government work. The principle of seeking truth from facts is also one of the basic principles that our country’s lawyers should abide by. Lawyers' argumentative eloquence should adhere to this principle. The principle of seeking truth from facts requires lawyers to seek truth from facts during debate activities, based on objectively existing facts, and not to falsify facts, exaggerate facts, or conceal or reduce facts.

Second, debate the principle in accordance with the law.

Arguing in accordance with the law is also a principle that lawyers should abide by when arguing eloquently. It contains the following main contents: (1) It is the right of lawyers to participate in debates, and lawyers must exercise their right to debate in accordance with the law. (2) During the debate, lawyers must perform certain obligations in accordance with the law. Lawyers must also perform any debate obligations that parties are required to perform by law. (3) The analysis made or the opinions put forward by lawyers during the debate must comply with legal provisions and have a legal basis.

Third, the principle of safeguarding the legitimate rights and interests of the parties concerned.

This principle means that lawyers should protect the legitimate rights and interests of the entrusted parties. According to this principle, parties can ask lawyers to safeguard their legitimate rights and interests, and lawyers should also take the initiative to safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of clients. Lawyers protect the legitimate rights and interests of their clients through various channels and methods, among which eloquence in debate is a major aspect.

Fourth, debate the principle of equality.

This principle is the guideline for lawyers to conduct defense activities. It includes the following main contents: (1) The debate status of both parties is equal. (2) The debating status of both lawyers and the parties is equal, and the opportunities for debating are also equal. (3) The debating status between lawyers on both sides is also equal.

Fifth, safeguard the principle of national sovereignty.

This principle is a guideline that Chinese lawyers must abide by in foreign-related debates. According to our country's legal provisions, Chinese lawyers can serve as agents of foreign parties in foreign-related litigation.

In this case, safeguarding the legitimate rights and interests of the parties is consistent with safeguarding the sovereign interests of the country. The legality of the rights and interests of foreign parties mentioned here includes: (1) They must be rights and interests recognized and protected by our country’s domestic laws; (2) They must be rights and interests recognized and protected by international treaties signed by our country’s government; (3) ) must be rights recognized and protected by international practices recognized by our government. When Chinese lawyers meet the above three situations when conducting foreign-related debates, they are safeguarding our country's sovereignty. If the interests of foreign parties do not meet the above circumstances, our lawyers should not defend them.

< p> Debate Speech 5

The external components of debate eloquence

The external components of debate eloquence mainly include language (voice, diction), posture (expression, demeanor), psychology (Specific applications of psychological laws) and others (space applications), etc.

(1) Language?

The language used by lawyers to argue refers to audio language, that is, oral expression. Lawyers should pay attention to the scientific and artistic nature of audio language. Scientificity refers to the composition mechanism of spoken language - the rules of language use. Artistry refers to the way and techniques used in spoken language. The former is unique to audio languages, while a considerable part of the latter is common to audio languages ??and written languages.

①Speech

From a stylistic analysis, spoken language is spoken language. Although oral expression is accompanied by a large number of expressions and movements, voice is the first communicative form of oral expression. As a spoken expression, court argumentation should of course attach great importance to the study and application of pronunciation.

Lawyer debates pay attention to the beauty of the voice. The harmonious unity of good debate content and good speech form will form a special force and enable the debate to achieve good results.

The speech forms of court debates mainly include timbre, stress and intonation, rhythm, etc.

Tone. Any kind of spoken expression has a minimum requirement for its material material - voice, which is correct, clear and pleasant to the ear.

Lawyer debates are no exception. The pronunciation and writing of Chinese are not one-to-one equivalent, because local regions differ, resulting in pronunciation differences (dialects) that are a common phenomenon in Chinese. In order to avoid auditory confusion and misunderstanding for the audience, lawyers should pay attention to the pronunciation of their voices when arguing, and strive to be correct, clear, and as pleasant as possible.

Lawyers should use Mandarin when debating, and the use of Mandarin plays an important role in special court debates. A person's natural timbre has innate factors, but acquired power can change it to a certain extent.

Learning the correct pronunciation method to make the tone beautiful and pleasant can greatly enhance the power of language expression.

Stress and intonation. Language is a tool for expressing people's thoughts and feelings. The emphasis on thoughts and feelings, in spoken expressions, is the stress on the sounds of the language. Without stress, the key points of thoughts and feelings cannot be expressed in spoken language. Intonation (tone) is also one of the speech forms that expresses various thoughts and feelings. The correct and appropriate use of stress and intonation can enhance the emotional color of language, form a harmonious and pleasant language, highlight the center of expression, and play the role of emphasis and persuasion.

Lawyers debate right and wrong, praise and blame very clearly. The correct and appropriate use of pronunciation stress and intonation skills will be of great help to lawyers in debates. Rhythm. Rhythm is also an important component of speaking skills. Oral expressions are tense and relaxed, urgent and slow, interrupted and continuous, ups and downs, which is very important for lawyers to argue. Slow but not urgent will keep the audience in a state of relaxation and inhibition, distracting their attention and losing their energy, thus affecting the expression effect. With the ups and downs of thoughts and feelings, it is necessary to have tension and relaxation, and a combination of relaxation and relaxation; to adjust the speed according to the needs of expression, to achieve fast and slow, appropriate speed and slowness, and alternating fast and slow, which are the needs of lawyers for oral expression in debates.

When speaking in lawyers’ debates, you must also pay attention to the appropriate use of pauses and the continuation and continuation of your spoken language. Pauses are needed not only by lawyers but also by listeners. Oral pauses during the debate can leave room for the listener to reflect and think, and provide a certain space for the exchange of thoughts and emotions between the lawyer and the audience. During the pauses, you must also maintain the coherence of the tone, seize appropriate opportunities, and carry out continuity and continuation. Lawyer debate is a comprehensive use of multiple language expressions, including narration, discussion, criticism, explanation, and lyricism. Different techniques should be used according to different expression methods. This is what the language skills of lawyer debate should be studied. one of the important contents.

②Usage

Another important part of lawyers’ debate language is the use of spoken language. The audible language used by lawyers to argue not only has sound (voice) but also has meaning. Regarding this point, lawyer debates can learn and draw on a lot from speeches and writings. For example, how to use words, how to rhetoric, how to use narrative, argumentation, explanation, lyricism and other languages, as well as the use of various specific language techniques (circumference, opening and closing, contrast, humor, induction, inquiry, reductio ad absurdum, counter-evidence, foil )etc.

In short, good language expression is very important for lawyers to argue. At present, lawyer debates in our country are basically in a state of scripted, straightforward and monotonous expressions. Investigating the reasons, contempt for skills is one of them. This further illustrates the importance of learning and training oral expression skills to improve lawyers' debate level.

(2) Situation

Modern science shows that situational language, like ordinary language, is self-contained and can be understood. The posture language used in lawyers' debates includes appearance,

expressions, gazes, gestures, etc. The judicial nature of a lawyer's argument determines the tone of its posture language, which should be solemn, sincere and clear, without exaggeration, sensationalism, mechanical imitation, or random impulsiveness.

①Appearance

Appearance is composed of body, clothing, appearance, expression, posture and other aspects. Appearance beauty is one of the important factors in the psychological compatibility between the audience and the lawyer, which provides a good start for a successful debate. A lawyer's appearance should be solemn and steady, not frivolous and flashy; it should be neat and generous, not slovenly or overly decorated; it should be natural and harmonious, not imitative.

A person's appearance and body are determined by his talent. Height, shortness, fatness and thinness, beauty and ugliness are all objective realities, and lawyers do not need to worry about them or pretend to hide them. However, it will be beneficial to the debate if the lawyer can choose clothes appropriately and adjust his behavior according to his body shape, appearance, and identity. If someone appears in court dressed up in fancy clothes or wearing fancy clothes, the consequences will be disastrous. The appearance of lawyers in debating is not only reflected in physical appearance, but more importantly, in manners, conversation, cultivation, temperament, etc. The latter is often controlled by reason and can be controlled artificially. Strengthening the cultivation of morality, quality, and tolerance is an important means to increase the beauty of appearance.

②Expression

Court debates are highly confrontational. The content of the debate is either closely related to the rights and interests of the parties; or it is due to the lawyer's lofty moral and legal responsibility. Therefore, court debates are always highly emotional. Although the debate venue requires lawyers to be highly objective and calm, verbal confrontations are always accompanied by strong emotional confrontations.

Speech is the voice of the heart. Language is the main tool for expressing thoughts and feelings, but it is not the only tool. In addition, there is also physical expression. Expression is a complex physiological phenomenon. It can be revealed naturally and unconsciously, or it can be consciously revealed under the control of reason. Using facial expressions to enhance the persuasiveness of a debate, or examining the opponent's facial expressions to capture thoughts that are more subtle, yet more real and subtle than what is expressed in words, is helpful for the success of the debate and is also an important part of lawyers' mastery of debate posture skills. one.

③ Gaze

In situational language, gaze is the most persuasive.

In court arguments, the expression of the eyes plays a very important role in conveying meaning. Some people say that gaze is a special language used by humans to convey spiritual information. Through this window of the soul, lawyers can grasp a lot of potential information, express rich and varied thoughts and emotions, so as to influence and infect the audience, and receive the best effect of the debate.

The correct use of eyes and eyes can eliminate psychological confrontation, communicate emotions, and gain the understanding and trust of the other party; it can express an awe-inspiring attitude and frighten criminals; it can focus the audience's attention and help create language. A good debate atmosphere enhances the appeal of the debate; you can have insight into the other party's psychology, adapt to changes, and adopt correct debate methods; you can master various new information that constantly emerges, seize the ever-changing and fleeting opportunities, and revise the debate Content and debate methods; can awaken the conscience of the audience, expand the connotation of the debate, and increase the aesthetic value of the debate.

Obviously, as an auxiliary means of spoken language, eyes and eyes are by no means dispensable for lawyers' arguments. Whether you admit it or not, know it or not, its important role will always be reflected.

④Gestures

Among posture skills, gestures are a special and important one. Lawyer arguments are not static and purely oral speeches. During a debate, a series of physical movements will occur along with the ups and downs of emotions, and gestures are one of them.

Some people call gestures sign language. Deaf-mute people use this as the main tool to communicate thoughts and feelings, while normal people not only use speech as the main means of expression, but also rely on gestures as an important auxiliary tool.

Because gestures are specific, distinct, vivid, and have a large range of movements, they play a certain positive role in court debates.

a. Gestures can emphasize the key points that need to be highlighted in the debate;

b. Gestures can mobilize the atmosphere of the debate and break the dull, monotonous and dull debate situation;

c. Gestures can create a beautiful image and enhance the attractiveness and persuasiveness of the debate.

Gestures have certain routines and form their own unique system. Certain gestures have certain meanings and are socially established. Therefore, gestures are not only widely understood, but also widely used and have certain application rules.

The application of gestures in lawyer debates must abide by the following principles:

a. When using gestures, attention should be paid to their standardization. It should be conducive to the expression of the content of the debate; it should be easy for the audience to accept and understand, and it should not be arbitrary inventions.

b. Use gestures appropriately, accurately, concisely, powerfully, and naturally; do not be excessive, artificial, or exaggerated.

c. The use of gestures must be consistent with the debate environment. The range of movements should not be too large and strive to be natural and harmonious.
