| Purpose: The purpose of this module is to provide professional development curricula in the sub-field of legal research. Specifically, it equips students with the value, knowledge, and skills vital to apply legal research skills, methodologies, techniques and technologies, which contribute to the design and production of evidence based research, in a variety of legal professional capacities. It incorporates African epistemology and indigenization of research processes by recognising that the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, 1996 is the basis for all legal action and that the Bill of Rights advocates principles of Ubuntu, fairness, openness, responsiveness, social responsibility, and humanisation of law. LME3701 serves as a foundation for RRLLB81 at the 4th level of the Bachelor of Law. Student who has been accredited with this module will be able to compile, analyse, criticise and evaluate evidence-based knowledge and produce research products such as for example research reports, advice on evidence, legal opinion or case-based knowledge required to solve practical real work problems in a legal context. |
