Journal Title: GATR Global Journal of Business & Social Science Review - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 4

Abstract

Objective - this study has the objective to study (assess) the law of the state of society. Methodology/Technique - Develop the method based on the shortcoming and Critical analysis of previous publications. Findings - –The results of normative law research are prescriptive in nature: the norms provide a prescription as to how one should behave in accordance with the norms. Normative legal research involves the study of the law as an object and removes any non-legal material from the scope of this research. In contrast, empirical legal research focuses on the application of laws in society. Novelty - This research paper analyses this dichotomy between normative and empirical research and assesses its relevance and usefulness in legal research.
