Description
Understanding legal research methods is essential for postgraduate students in law. Traditionally, undergraduate study has provided a seamless transition to postgraduate studies, but this is no longer the case. With increasing emphasis on how we conduct our research, rather than what we research, undergraduate students are now engaging in primary research as part of their degree.
This book aims to address the lack of importance placed on research methods in law, providing a practical guide for researchers worldwide. It covers various methodological approaches, including doctrinal, socio-legal, historical, and comparative methods, as well as participatory and community-based research, and empirical methods. By examining the benefits and pitfalls of each approach, this book enables readers to determine the usefulness of any method for their own research.
With contributions from leading experts in their fields, Legal Research Methods: Principles and Practicalities offers a critical yet clear examination of the various types of methodologies used in legal research. This book is an invaluable resource for anyone looking to improve their research skills and avoid common pitfalls.
