Explaining in clear terms some of the main methodological approaches to
legal research, the chapters in this edited collection are written by
specialists in their fields, researching in a variety of jurisdictions.
Covering a range of topics from Feminist Approaches to Law and
Economics, each contributor addresses the topic of 'lay decision makers
in the legal system' from their particular methodological perspective,
explaining how they would approach the issue and discussing the
suitability of their particular method. This focus on one main topic
allows the reader to draw comparisons between methods with relative
ease.
The broad range of contributors makes Research Methods in Law well
suited to an international audience, and it is ideal reading for PhD
students in law, undergraduate dissertation students in law, LL.M
Research students and early year researchers.
