About this book

An important collection examining how socio-legal studies and empirical legal research can be integrated into the law curriculum, looking at both core qualifying subjects and stand-alone socio-legal modules, and considering theoretical and methodological approaches combined with practical examples.

Reviews

The collection is a very welcome addition to the literature on teaching and learning in law. All of the contributions are by leading legal scholars, are thoughtful, and repay reading.' - Andy Boon, The City Law School, Journal of Law and Society
