Graduate School Methods Seminar

We are very excited to announce that the Graduate School is starting a new series of Graduate School Methods Seminars. The Methods Seminars are convened by Elvira Loibl, Monika Leszczyńska, Michele Ubertone, and Daniel On, with the goal of introducing members of our faculty, PhD candidates, Master’s Honours Research Track students, and other interested academics, to different methods being used to conduct legal research. In the seminars, guest speakers will present fundamentals, advantages, problems, and limits of a method that they are expert in. They will do this through the lens of their own research.

We hope that the Methods Seminars will become a space where members of different departments can meet to discuss common challenges related to the use of various legal research methods.  They are also meant to contribute to the broader discussion within our faculty about the quality of legal research. 

The next Graduate School Methods Seminar will take place on April 16, 2025 from 13.00-14.30
