Law and the Language of Identity: Discourse in the William Kennedy Smith Rape Trial
Greg M. Matoesian (Assistant Professor of Criminal Justice, Assistant Professor of Criminal Justice, University of Illinois, Chicago)
Matoesian uses the 1991 rape trial of William Kennedy Smith to provide an in-depth analysis of language use and its role in that specific trial as well as the law in general. Examining both defense and prosecutorial linguistic strategies, he shows how language practices shape–and are shaped by–culture and the law.
