Required Oral Expression Skills for the Oral Trial

Abstract

The oral trial requires the oral expression skill. The same one includes the oratory, the rhetoric, the body language, and the nonverbal signs. The Oral and Written Communication course was carried on in San José, San Ramón de Alajuela, Heredia, Cartago, and Limón with 100 Litigant Lawyers and 50 Judges who are men and women from 35 to 55 years old. The result was affected by the lack of training within the case’s theory, the incoherent argument, the improvised defense statement, the lack of oratory, the rhetoric, and the inappropriate control of body language. It was demonstrated that these aspects are the responsibility of the university’s training, so they are a lack in the curriculum vitae.
