Aiming at getting trust from the jury, the lawyer's language has to be persuasive, or at least sounds to be persuasive. They have to provide evidences to prove their client is innocent or to prosecute someone.

The questions raised by the solicitors are well organized and there is certain degree of linkage between questions. Their questions try to lead the witness into the right track and to give the relevant information that is in flavor to his client.

Since the patient in the courtroom is not a legal professional, in the case we heard, the patient is only a 16 years old girl, therefore, jargon are rarely heard in the counsel-witness examination. The language is simple and plain in order to ensure the witness can understand what does the counselor want to know and in turn to provide relevant information.

Lawyers also tend to give very clear instruction to witness on what they want him/her to do. For example, lawyers tend to say "you only have to answer yes or no on this question", "I want u to listen very carefully on what I am going to say now" very often in the case we heard. On one hand, it gives clear instruction to the witness; on the other hand, it also achieves the purpose of coerciveness.
