中文摘要：

修辞学的当代复兴使法律修辞学从说服的技艺发展为实现裁判合理性的方法论，法律修辞学以关系本体论的法概念论作为理论前提，以论题学为思维方式，在知识属性上体现了分析学与诠释学在法律论证理论上的融合。法律修辞学是作为规范性的法律方法论，适应司法民主化的发展趋势，并使司法中的价值判断活动规范化，但法律修辞学在法律论证中的作用是有限度的，必须警惕修辞在司法过程中的负面作用。

英文摘要：

The contemporary revival of rhetoric makes legal rhetoric the methodology to achieve accepta- bility of＂ verdict from technique of persuasion. Legal Rhetoric is based theoretically on the relation ontology of legal conception, takes Topiea as thinking mode and integrates hermeneutics with analytic philosophy with re- gards to legal argumentation. As a normative legal methodology, legal rhetoric responds to the trend of judicial democratization, to normalize the value judgment in judicial practice. But there is limit of the function of legal rhetoric, and its adverse effects should be cautiously concerned.
