Legal Research Jurisprudence is an optional module in the LLB programme. The aim of the module is to enable students to acquire and demonstrate an accurate knowledge and appreciation of fundamental questions concerning the nature of law, the relationship of law and morality, theories of justice and rights and other related topics. Students will conduct both independent and guided legal research enabling them to compare, contrast and critically evaluate particular works of legal philosophy with reference to key contemporary legal, political and moral issues.

This course examines key issues in jurisprudence and legal philosophy such as legal positivism and natural law, the relationship of law and morals, theories of justice and rights and the nature of the good life. Students will examine selected legal philosophies with reference to key current concerns such as the relationship between different branches of the State, domestic and international political issues including terrorism and security, the right to privacy and the rule of law principle.
