About

The Law as Science initiative is co-founded by Simon Sun, constituted of U.S. law school doctoral candidates from various law schools that share an interest in research methodologies. Legal studies have been generally understood as a discipline outside science, traditionally consisting of doctrinal analysis and debates on normative questions. However, we believe it can be improved by and benefit from scientific methodologies that provide systematic ways to approach questions and deliver falsifiable claims. Scientific methodologies should substantiate, support, and verify normative and doctrinal arguments. By this approach, claims are supported by testable theories, thus, expediting the accumulation of knowledge. Introducing scientific approaches–the method of inquiry–to legal studies, “Law as Science” emphasizes methodology in legal research.
