Amity Lucknow’s National Workshop on ‘Empirical Legal Research & Data’ [Oct 31-Nov 01]; Register by Oct 15; For PhDers/Teachers

Amity Lucknow is organising a National Workshop on ‘Empirical Legal Research & Data” between October 31-November 01, 2014.

Background

The need to impart expertise skills and awareness in social research including socio-legal research is now increasingly being experienced. This kind of research over the years has grown to be a complex one.

This is also because of the fact that legal scientists in these days are addressing the subjects that essentially need a holistic and comprehensive treatment falling beyond the individual areas of one’s specialization.

This situation has posed several methodological challenges and dilemmas before both the matured and budding social scientists and legal research scholars. It becomes imperative on their part to develop an expertise in the concerned categories of research methodologies.

This takes us to the need of definite training in the construction and applications of research methodology in social and legal research.

Objectives

The core objective of the workshop would be to develop skills of the participants in the areas of construction and applications of research methodology, data analysis through the use of software and computer applications. The Workshop intends to adopt a definite methodology to achieve the objectives of the programme.

The proposed training interaction is to be geared to achieve the following objectives:

1. To familiarize the participants about the construction and application of research methodology linking it with the development of a comprehensive and current research proposal.
