ON
“EMPIRICAL LEGAL RESEARCH AND DATA ANALYSIS”

Background
The need to impart expertise skills and awareness in social research including socio-legal research is now increasingly being experienced. This kind of research over the years has grown to be a complex one. This is also because of the fact that legal scientists in these days are addressing the subjects that essentially need a holistic and comprehensive treatment falling beyond the individual areas of one’s specialization. This situation has posed several methodological challenges and dilemmas before both the matured and budding social scientists and legal research scholars. It becomes imperative on their part to develop an expertise in the concerned categories of research methodologies. This takes us to the need of definite training in the construction and applications of research methodology in social and legal research.
