Abstract
This paper questions the role of emotions in judicial persuasion: first, I will provide a brief overview of affective states, focusing on the structure of s.c. epistemic feelings; then, I will present some experiments which are going to be developed in a current research-project in a local court in Italy, to understand the interpersonal effects of epistemic feelings on judicial persuasion; finally, I will draw conclusive reflections on the relationship between forensic rhetoric and emotion.
