Seeing BothSides of an Argument, law assignment help
You
are all about to make the switch from writing objective analysis to
writing persuasively. In doing so, you must consider and be able to
analyze not just your position on the issue (or your client’s), but also
that of your opponent. You must be able to construct arguments
supporting different positions, using the law and the facts to
effectively and persuasively support those positions.
Often, students believe that they can only argue effectively from one
perspective, which they personally support or believe in. Some of you
aspire to attend law school and become attorneys. Others of you plan to
complete this degree and function as paralegals in law firms. Either
way, you must develop your ability to see multiple sides of any issue
and to make good, solidly supported arguments in support of those
positions.
This week, I want you all to discuss this issue. Is it difficult for
you to see both sides of an issue? Is it hard for you to make arguments
in support of positions with which you personally do not agree? How
will you overcome this if it is a problem? If it is not a problem for
you, how do you approach writing such arguments?
