On 11, 12 and 13 March, Erasmus School of Law in Rotterdam organizes a three-day Spring Course Legal Research Methodologies. This international course is meant for early career researchers and PhD candidates. It aims to provide a sound methodological basis for researchers  with a background in law. It may also be useful for researchers from other disciplines such as ethics or political sciences that want to include legal research in their empirical or theoretical projects. 

Some of the topics to be addressed are:  the importance of legal research methodologies, designing and executing doctrinal research projects, formulating research questions, library research, how to make evaluations and recommendations and how to do comparative law.

Doctrinal research can in many ways be enriched both by empirical studies and by the humanities. When should doctrinal researchers include such disciplines? How precisely to include insights, theories or methods from different disciplines? There will be an extensive discussion of both empirical legal studies and law and humanities.
