The American courtroom trial is a speech situation. Everything occurs through the spoken word. The summation', as speech event embedded within the trial, which is the chronological and psychological culmination of it, is one of the few opportunities for the lawyer to communicate directly with jurors. But the speech genre summation involves preliminaries as well as the event itself; and it can affect the aftermath of the trial, for the decisions of the jurors may be influenced by this discourse.
This ethnographic study considers the summation from three perspectives: that of the producer, from the point of view of the ethnographer who observed and analyzed sixty-six actual summations and from that of the receivers of the speech event who must act upon it. Information was obtained from post-deliberation questionnaires completed by 223 jurors, plus 35 alternate jurors.

The Jury Summation As Speech Genre
Overall, it was good.
It's strongest point was it's writing. It had very beautiful passages that really felt alive at some points. But it was let down, by how sometimes it felt as if the author was just chewing up and spitting the plot down your mouth.
It shows that Corneille was struggling with the rules of the age, and that if not constrained it would've turned out much better. Trying to keep the three unities, the plot felt a little nonsensical and rushed.
Out of the characters Chimène was relatable though at times annoying and Rodrigo was a Mary Sue. The strongest character for me was the Infanta, for some reason she was the most poignantly written. Everyone else was unimportant and forgettable.
