- Course objectives
- Any research is not complete if data are not inserted into broader context. No research is complete without data interpretation. To collect data is important – to interpret data is important as well. Empirical Legal Studies II - data analyzing is focused on specific trends in data analysis in legal research. The course deals with doctrinal research and its findings and interpretation of data in empirical legal research. Alternatively, the student can attend other methodological seminars focused on data analysis at university (after prior agreement of the guarantor of this course) whose goals respond to the topic of thesis of the student.
