Session Submission Type: Virtual Created Panel
Court opinions house the very legal rules that are the foundation of law and courts scholarship. Not only do opinions generate, identify, and explain judicial law, but they can persuade lawyers, scholars, citizens, and other judges on the merit of these laws and application. This panel addresses the efficacy of opinions in persuading these audiences and examines how changes in the advent of social media and greater globalization affect opinion language and communication.
