| 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. RRLLB81 is the practical culmination of the theoretical knowledge obtained from LME3701 on the 3rd level of the Bachelor of Law. Students who have been accredited with this module will be able to write-up research results and deliver a theory-driven legal argument in written format which complies with the conventions of legal research. |
