Although American scholars sometimes consider European legal
scholarship as old-fashioned and inward-looking and Europeans often
perceive American legal scholarship as amateur social science, both
traditions share a joint challenge. If legal scholarship becomes
too much separated from practice, legal scholars will ultimately
make themselves superfluous. If legal scholars, on the other hand,
cannot explain to other disciplines what is academic about their
research, which methodologies are typical, and what separates
proper research from mediocre or poor research, they will probably
end up in a similar situation. Therefore we need a debate on what
unites legal academics on both sides of the Atlantic. Should legal
scholarship aspire to the status of a science and gradually adopt
more and more of the methods, (quality) standards, and practices of
other (social) sciences? What sort of methods do we need to study
law in its social context and how should legal scholarship deal
with the challenges posed by globalization?
