Abstract. The paper aims to prove that during a trial, a defence attorney and a prosecutor use the same communicative techniques to influence the jurors. The author differentiates the notions "communicative behaviour" and "verbal behaviour". Scientific originality of the study lies in the fact that the researcher for the first time analyses the suggestive tactics used by English-speaking defence attorneys and prosecutors to exert indirect verbal influence on the jurors. English-language feature films served as the research material. As a result, it is proved that during direct examination and cross-examination, defence attorneys and prosecutors use verbal manipulation techniques aiming to discredit the opponent and his trial strategy in the jurors’ eyes.
