The article dwells upon the problem of Ukrainian speech culture formation of future jurists. The authors emphasize heuristics as a branch of rhetoric which is studied by law students who in this way obtain knowledge not only about persuasion, effective forms of speech influence on an audience, but also of the art of polemic, learn about dialogue speech in depth, form skills of running an argument. The art of polemic as a type of eloquence is very old. Heuristics as a kind of oratory was originated in the Ancient Greece. The art of running an argument is more complex kind of oratory than monologue eloquence. Heuristics as a rhetoric of the dialogue speech is represented in the following genres: discussion, polemic, dispute, debates, argument, etc. It is of a particular importance for future jurists since effective running of professional discussions leads to successful resolution of certain professional problems, prevents escalation of a conflict between parties, etc. This raises the question of a proper conduct of an argument which, first and foremost, relates to the psychology of running an argument (discussion, debates, dispute, etc.), especially speech culture of discussions, observance of speech etiquette. It is important to teach future jurists the culture of running arguments and use of non-offensive, diplomatic wording, as well as develop the skills to concisely express their opinion. While familiarizing the law students with the rules of conducting arguments, they need to be exposed to the criteria of self-evaluation of their speech skills. In the beginning of professional training, it is important to draw the future specialists’ attention to difficulties which might arise in the process of the speech activity. Rhetoric of the dialogue speech has developed certain rules, techniques, and culture of heuristics which also have to be introduced to the future jurists. The article presents some of these aspects. These “golden rules of heuristics” should become the foundation to form the Ukrainian speech culture of a future specialist in the field of jurisprudence.
