This module aims first to introduce key legal and socio-legal literature and provide a sound understanding of legal argumentation, the epistemological foundations of cognate interdisciplinary research and the debates surrounding the relationship between law and society. Second it aims to introduce and critically to explore different conceptual approaches to legal and socio-legal research (including its inter-disciplinary nature) on which students can reflect and draw to develop tools and approaches appropriate for their own research. Finally it considers the local, national, international and global contexts of law.
