Research Methodology Courses in Law Schools

As a follow-up to Jason’s post about teaching empiricism, it could be a helpful service of the ELS Blog to compile a list of the research methodology courses taught within law schools. Naturally, traditional legal research courses do not count for these purposes. (We don’t need a list of 180 first-year legal research courses, even if they really are empirical.)

Anyone who would like to help along the process of compiling this list can post a comment or e-mail me directly ([email protected]), preferably with a link to a course description or even a syllabus. Since course catalogs do not always reflect what is actually being taught, these responses would be of great help in figuring out what is really going on within the law schools. I’ll post the list sometime soon and update it as needed.

‘Legal Research’ means research in that branch of knowledge which deals with the principles of law and legal institution. There are three main sources of law, viz., legislation, precedent, and custom. Juristic writings are another important though secondary source of law and their importance is dependent on the fact whether it is given due recognition by the courts or the legislature or jurists in solving problems or not. The contents of these sources of law change with the changing requirement of the society and if these changes are not taken into account in interpreting the law, the existing law is bound to be doomed. The object of legal research is to find out lacunae or deficiencies in the existing laws and to suggest suitable measures to eliminate them. If there is an area for which there is no law at all the objective of legal research would be to suggest suitable legislation for that area. Law is a behavioural science as it regulates human behaviour. As the society changes, the law should also move according to it and accordingly change itself. The way and method to find out the changes in the society and suggesting of suitable measures is called Legal Research. This significance of legal research lies in the submission of proposal for reform in existing law according to the changing needs of the society.

I've taught "Empirical Methods for Lawyers" (3 cr.) for years (though my colleague Ted Eisenberg taught it this year). The survey course is designed to introduce law students to some of the most basic and important quantitative tools of the social sciences that inform many private and public law areas. The first part introduces students to general statistical principles. The second part integrates these principles and basic empirical tools into various legal areas. I establish SPSS site licenses for the class, but do not require any actual computational work or problem sets. For classroom teaching purposes I've opted for SPSS as students describe it as more accessible.
