SOCIO-LEGAL METHODS

Code: LAW549

Credits: 20

Semester: Semester 2

This module explores research methods in socio-legal studies. It is structured around empirical methodologies and theoretical perspectives that are often found in socio-legal studies. The module will demonstrate to students how a socio-legal perspective may help inform their own research. The aim is to show what socio-legal projects look like from the inside? How do socio-legal researchers conduct their work? What are some of the challenges they face? You will be encouraged to think critically about and analyse socio-legal work, as well as apply it to think about law and legal issues for yourself.
