application of law

Innovative approaches in legal methodology

General theoretical legal science is essentially a practical discipline. Therefore, there is no institutional dualism between applied and theoretical jurisprudence in universities, unlike in mathematics or physics. However, a look at the previous history of law shows that there was a period when legal theory was subjected to fundamental research. At that time, arguments from related disciplines, such as philosophy and social sciences, were enthusiastically accepted for the sake of theoretical development of legal methodology. Unfortunately, this golden age of theory is over.
