The author argues that courtroom speeches by litigants are a good source of information on the common morality of the citizens of ancient Greece. She supports this by saying that the jury was made up of citizens and had no legal guidance and no cross-examination of witnesses. This made it crucial for litigants to impress the jurors.

The author assumes that because litigants were concerned about making a good impression on the jury, they designed their speeches to reflect the moral beliefs of the jurors. In other words, she assumes that the litigants thought that jurors were impressed by oratory that appealed to the jurors’ own morality.

By concluding that these speeches are a good source of data on the common morality of citizens in ancient Greece, she also assumes that jurors’ values were representative of all citizens.

The author assumes that litigants believed jurors were impressed by litigants who appealed to their moral beliefs, not by litigants whose personality they preferred.

The author assumes that litigants tried to impress jurors by reflecting the jurors’ moral codes, not by discussing their own personal moral codes. Also, whether jurors scrutinized the litigants more than other people is irrelevant.

If litigants believed jurors were impressed by those litigants whose moral views matched their own, it makes sense that litigants’ speeches would reflect jurors' beliefs. Since jurors were selected from citizens, these speeches may indeed reflect common moral views of citizens.

The author assumes that litigants tried to impress jurors by reflecting the jurors’ moral codes. Her argument has nothing to do with the economic class of jurors’ or litigants.

The author assumes that litigants tried to impress jurors by appealing to the jurors’ morality. She doesn’t assume that litigants thought that jurors made decisions based on a good understanding of the law.
