Oxford Handbook of Empirical Legal Research

The empirical study of law, legal systems and legal institutions is widely regarded as one of the most exciting and important intellectual developments in the modern history of legal research. Motivated by the belief that legal phenomena can and should be understood not only normatively, but also as social practices of political, economic and ethical significance, empirical legal scholars have used quantitative and qualitative methods to shed light on many aspects of the meaning, functioning and effect of law. In the 43 chapters of the Oxford Handbook of Empirical Legal Research, leading scholars offer accessible and original discussions on the history, aims and methods of empirical legal research, as well as its achievements and potential. The manual consists of three parts. The first deals with the development and institutional context of empirical legal research. The second – and most important – part consists of critical reports on empirical research on many aspects of the legal world — criminal law, civil law, public law, regulatory law and international law; lawyers, judicial institutions, judicial proceedings and evidence; and on legal pluralism and public understanding of the law. The third part introduces readers to empirical research methods and their place in the curriculum of the Faculty of Law. Additional gift options are available when you purchase one eBook at a time.
