This seminar will examine a number of ways of conducting socio-legal research, discussing the relations between methods used in socio-legal inquiry and methods used in Sociology, Political Science and History. It will discuss how case law can be constructed as an object of empirical study, how analysis of judicial rulings can be integrated into social theory, and how case law can be interpreted to explain broad socio-political conjunctures. It will also address the analysis of case law in research on globalization.
