| Abstract | Although a relatively new area of scientific study, theory and research on nonverbal communication in the courtroom has produced important findings for students and practitioners in five key areas: voire dire and jury analysis; opening and closing statements; client demeanor and direct examination; cross-examination; and judge demeanor and communication. During "voire dire," attorneys should build rapport with potential jurors by using warm nonverbal behaviors such as close distances, eye contact, and soft vocal tones. Research suggests that good rapport may be associated with an interactants' adopting similar postures (mirroring), speech styles, facial expressions, and patterns of coordinated movement. In general, an attorney's delivery is likely to be helped by such factors as a moderately fast speech rate, fluent speech, strong eye contact, channel consistency, confident and varied tones, a direct and conversational style, natural gestures, the avoidance of body adaptors, and purposeful movement. With regard to the jury's assessment of a client, research shows that attractiveness, attire, physical features, and body language are all important. In contrast to direct examination, cross examination calls for nonverbal tactics that discredit the witness; body language is used to intimidate or demean the witness. Finally, judges may signal to the jury through body language how they feel about a defendant's case. A functional model, consisting of 16 enumerated points, assumes that nonverbal signals combine to serve important communicative goals. (Contains 32 references and one figure.) (TB) |
