Abstract

What follows is a substantive discussion of the reasons why parentheticals are rhetorically advantageous-in other words, why they are so beloved and often employed in appellate briefs and cases. I will examine the use of parentheticals in citation forms, synthesis, rhetoric, economics, and narrative reasoning in an effort to trace the attraction.
