The empirical study of law, legal systems and legal institutions is widely viewed as one of the most exciting and important intellectual developments in the modern history of legal research. Motivated by a conviction that legal phenomena can and should be understood not only in normative terms but also as social practices of political, economic and ethical significance, empirical legal researchers have used quantitative and qualitative methods to illuminate many aspects of law's meaning, operation and impact.
In the 43 chapters of The Oxford Handbook of Empirical Legal Research leading
scholars provide accessible and original discussions of the history, aims and
methods of empirical research about law, as well as its achievements and
potential. The Handbook has three parts. The first deals with the development
and institutional context of empirical legal research. The second - and largest
- part consists of critical accounts of empirical research on many aspects of
the legal world - on criminal law, civil law, public law, regulatory law and
international law; on lawyers, judicial institutions, legal procedures and
evidence; and on legal pluralism and the public understanding of law. The third
part introduces readers to the methods of empirical research, and its place in
the law school curriculum.
