Communicative competences in the law

Abstract

The basic and primitive communication of animals to communicate fear, hunger, to flee from a threat, etc., are, to a certain extent, forms of communication; however, they are instinctive forms of communication that do not go beyond mere survival. In the case of human beings, our ability to communicate enables us to express situations that go beyond instinct. Intelligent communication transmits theories, developments and explanations about our own existence and about everything that surrounds us and that we construct in our societies. Law is one of these constructions. In the legal field, we jurists work in the judicial, administrative, teaching and other areas and, in all of these, efficient communication is an indispensable competence for our professional development. A jurist who does not communicate (writes badly and says badly), no matter how accurate the theoretical content of his or her speeches, will not be efficient in his or her profession. Communicating is fundamental for the jurist. The aim of this article is to highlight the importance of efficient communication for jurists. The hypothesis supports the crucial importance of this efficiency for professional excellence. We use the descriptive method to highlight the situation; we also use the descriptive method to propose a solution to this obvious deficit. The main result achieved in this work is to know in a logical, intense, persuasive, reflexive and direct way, how to exercise the techniques of communication and how to argue analytically each concrete case and each legal body in an efficient way.
