Legal Research Methodology by J. Mahalakshmi and P. Balamurugan – 1st Edition 2023

Description

The study of law is inextricably linked with legal research. Legal research plays a crucial role in the development of law as a discipline and in the growth of the legal profession. The key objectives of legal research are to train students of law in analytical and critical thinking and enable them to acquire high standards of professional competence. Further, legal research facilitates the enrichment of the legal profession by rewarding and incentivizing specialization in emerging areas of law and in studying these fields with an interdisciplinary lens, using inputs from the various sciences and social science.

Legal Research provides a solid basis on which legal policies can be formulated to benefit and rebuild society into a more robust, just, and fair version of itself. Writing research projects is an indispensable requirement that marries theory with practice, as it guides, trains, and encourages the law student to analyse both legal doctrines as well as the real-world impact of law on society.

This book will provide law students, lawyers, and even Judges with theoretical and practical exposure to methods of legal research to best serve their academic and professional needs.
