(Learning unit 3)
Empirical Research and Its Components
Empirical research, often referred to as "quantitative research," is a systematic process
of collecting and analyzing data. It involves gathering numerical or verbal information
that serves as evidence to test or develop theories and hypotheses. In legal research,
empirical methods go beyond document-based analysis by incorporating data collection
from human participants, such as interviews, surveys, or observations. This approach
helps provide a deeper understanding of legal issues, policies, and phenomena that are
grounded in real-world experience.
Key Components of Empirical Research
Empirical research is goal-oriented and focuses on specific research questions. It seeks
to describe, explore, explain, or evaluate a particular issue, typically involving human
behavior or societal phenomena. Each of these goals plays a different role in shaping
the research process.
