Empirical legal research is a growing field of academic expertise,
yet lawyers are not always familiar with the possibilities and
limitations of the available methods. Empirical Legal Research in
Action presents readers with first-hand experiences of empirical
research on law and legal issues. The chapters, written by an
international cast of scholars, reflect on the methods that they
have applied in their own empirical work, spanning a wide breadth
of research from psychological experiments in personal injury to
field studies in criminology. Empirical Legal Research in Action
not only reviews the advantages, limitations and challenges that
such methods pose but also considers the value of empiricism to
lawyers and the law. Vitally, the contributions offer an academic
reflection on methodological challenges, as well as the relevance,
of empirical research for lawyers. This insightful book will be
useful reading for academic researchers in law and for policymakers
seeking to understand the methodological challenges of empirical
work in legal research. Social sciences scholars will also find
this book of interest to appreciate the multitude of methods in
empirical legal research. Contributors include: B. Boppre, J.
Crijns, P. Desmet, C. Engel, J. Etienne, I. Giesen, H. Grootelaar,
P. Mascini, C.P. Reinders Folmer, M. Rorie, S.S. Simpson, W.
Voermans, W.H. van Boom, K. van den Bos, I. van Oorschot
