The Project Report writing as an essential part of B.A. LL. B. (Hons.) & LL. M. levels require to follow a definite research design. The choice of research design and method of research in law is based on the nature of research, content and other parameters.
Broadly speaking, the research undertaken by the students could be of two kinds:
doctrinal and non-doctrinal. A doctrinal research means a study that has been carried
out on a legal proposition or propositions by way of analyzing the existing statutory
provisions and cases by applying the reasoning power. Doctrinal research involves
analysis of case law, arranging, ordering and systematizing legal propositions and
study of legal institutions through legal reasoning or rational deduction.
