BRIDGING THE DIVIDE: INTEGRATING LEGAL EDUCATION WITH SOCIAL SCIENCES RESEARCH

Abstract

Legal studies have mainly focused on interpretation and application of rules and regulations, for example, statutes and judicial decisions. but it was the traditional way of study although the recent approach in contrast integrates with other disciplines of social sciences. Commonly, it is known as the interdisciplinary approach, essentially meaning how law functions in the society and impacts people as whole. This article describes that law is not only the set of rules but it is actually the mechanism of society. Hence, it is very important to understand the relationship of legal education  with other disciplines. Integrated research is beneficial in various aspects since it would be more practical because social sciences relates with human behaviour while law governs the consequences of such conduct. This article highlights the significance of integrated research of law with social sciences and intends to illustrate the undeniable bridge between the two.
