‘This collection is worth the effort of reading and learning from the richness of legal scholarship. It can be useful for methodology debates in legal research courses. It calls for political awareness of those who can influence the design of legal education or influence the distribution of research funds. Therefore, this book is also a useful read for deans of law schools and members of committees who advise about the funding of (legal and social scientific) research proposals.’
