Research Methodology Seminars

Conferences and seminars - 2007

During 2007, the BLT Research Committee organised a series of research methodology seminars designed to promote discussion and learning of alternative approaches to research and scholarship in law and legal data.

The seminars covered a broad range of topics including comparative and theoretical approaches to legal research, and case study and regulatory research methods.  Each of the seminars were excellently attended, and we anticipate following up with a similar series in 2009.
