The Oxford Handbook on Empirical Legal Studies

By December 3, 2022No Comments

In the early years of the first decade of the twenty-first century, a movement called “empirical legal studies” (ELS) emerged and developed. This book recognizes the diversity of empirical study of law, legal systems, and other legal phenomena. In particular, there are at least three approaches and research groups that preceded the contemporary ELS movement, each of which can be identified as social-legal/law and society (an interdisciplinary movement with strong roots in sociology but with scholars from a wide range of traditional disciplines, including law), law and economics empirically oriented, and judicial behaviour/policy. This book also explores three key dimensions of policing: contract management, crime management, and security management. Finally, some emerging trends in the organization and implementation of policing services are being identified as police organizations seek to reconfigure their capabilities and capabilities to meet new challenges. The term “empirical legal research” in The Oxford Handbook of Empirical Legal Research is intended to reflect and celebrate the healthy pluralism of empirical approaches to the study of law and legal phenomena. 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. This item will be printed to order.
