The term "forensic" in literature has evolved far beyond its strict legal connotations to encompass a range of meanings tied to intellectual skill and persuasive eloquence. Early literary works, such as Coleridge’s reference to established professions, suggest that forensic inquiry underpins the rational practices of society ([1]), while Santayana criticizes the classical emphasis on forensic and rhetorical methods that hinder scientific progress ([2]). For Dickens, the word hints at the subtle nuances of legal reasoning and self-doubt ([3]), and Mill champions Cicero’s forensic methods as essential to arriving at truth across disciplines ([4]). In the realm of mystery, Christie uses forensic skill as a measure of triumph ([5]), whereas Locke employs the term to denote both the act of appropriating actions meriting judgment and an intrinsic intellectual quality ([6], [7]). These varied usages highlight how "forensic" has been repurposed over time to express the rigor, persuasion, and analytical excellence valued in both law and literature ([8], [9], [10], [11], [12], [13]).
