Methodology in Legal Research

Critical legal scholarship often makes use of an implicit or explicit methodology, or philosophy and guiding approach to analysis. The databases on this page can help familiarize researchers with these methodologies, their histories, and how to use them. Sage Research Methods is an extensive academic collection of methodology reference materials that is a key resource for methodological research. However, it is important to note that how methodology is applied and understood within other social science disciplines can differ from its use in legal scholarship. For that reason, it is important to also consult legal handbooks on methodology use, such as the Elgaronline resources, and to refer to how methodology is applied in scholarly articles and books.
