The transition from undergraduate study to postgraduate study in
law has traditionally been somewhat seamless: students are
typically enculturated into the discipline of law, and have engaged
in a variety of writing and research exercises throughout their
undergraduate degree. However, the nature of legal research is
changing dramatically, with more emphasis being put on how we are
researching, rather than what we are researching. Undergraduate
students are increasingly engaging in primary research as part of
their degree, and typically borrow from other disciplines to do so.
The reason for this is that, to date, there has been little
importance placed on research methods in law. This book aims to
rectify this in a manner which is suitable for students, not only
in Ireland but internationally. Legal Research Methods: Principles
and Practicalities is tailored to the needs of researchers in
examining varying methodological approaches from a practical
perspective. In addition to the principal approaches now commonly
used in legal research (the doctrinal method; the socio-legal
method; the historical method; and the comparative method) issues
such as participatory and community-based research, as well as
empirical methods, are examined by leading experts in their fields
in a critical but clear manner. The book outlines the various types
of methodologies, with authors drawing on their own experiences and
expertise to examine the benefits and pitfalls involved in each
method. This allows the reader to determine the usefulness of any
method to their own research, and aids them in employing these
methods and avoiding any pitfalls. [Subject: Legal Research
