Kantorowicz, Llewellyn, Gény and Ehrlich can be classified as authors (among others) engaged in the field of methodology of legal science. Although their work is located at the end of the 19^th century and beginning of the 20^th century, they deepen knowledge about legal science. Weber is a distinguished author engaged in the area of the methodology of legal science. The question is if the legal science is a social science – and the answers are contradictory.

The assignment is to read the literature mentioned above and try to ascertain the specific character of legal science. Then compare your findings to approach held by Max Weber. Try to find differences and correspondences (if there are any). Try to conceptualize the paradigm of legal science in the context of social sciences. 

You will present your findings and answers on the seminar (no written output is expected; the seminar can be managed as an individual or joint meeting). The time (January/February) will be adjusted to your other duties at Brno (We will discuss time via e-mail; it is possible to present your findings and to answer asked questions by Microsoft Teams).
