THE FUNCTION AND PURPOSE OF LEGAL RESEARCH IN THE ADVANCEMENT OF LAW
Abstract
A research
tool is indispensable in the creation, understanding and execution of the law. It offers a systematic approach to
the identification of legal issues, the review of current law, and the recommendations
for the improvement of the law. Legal research also helps the courts interpret the laws of a democratic society; helps the
legislators to develop effective laws; and is necessary to legal practitioners
to protect individual rights. It also identifies the inadequacies of the laws in place and what
needs to be done to ensure that the laws are responsive to social, economic
and technological change. Research in Indian Legal System is very helpful in
the interpretation of the Constitution, judicial activism, protection of human
rights and in the process of law
making. This paper discusses the
concept, nature, functions and objectives of
legal research, how legal research contributes to the progress of the law, the
major methods used in legal research and problems to be encountered in legal
research. It asserts that a fair, responsive and progressive legal system needs
dependable independent and ethical legal research.
The paper
argues that conduct of legal research on an independent, systematic
and ethical basis is essential to improve the rule of law and to
foster a fair and forward-looking legal
system.
