An essential resource for every Law student and scholar, and a must have for the shelves of every library.

- Malcolm Feeley, University of California Berkeley,

This third edition of Research Methods for Law offers students in a range of disciplines - law, sociology, psychology, criminology, forensic science, social-legal studies and social welfare - an advanced introduction to research methods in an accessible and grounded way. As well as covering theoretical, comparative and interdisciplinary methods, the book breaks new ground by offering a focus on topics of contemporary and developing concerns in areas such as Artificial Intelligence, BRICS, Continental Legal Systems, Islamic Law, Gender, Race and the 'Virtual World'. The expert contributors draw on their vast experience in teaching and research to encourage students and provide sure pathways for their own enterprises with technical competence and adherence to ethical standards.
