Bases para uma metodologia da pesquisa em direito

Abstract

Legal education has been going through yet another major structural change, perhaps greater in the history of higher education in Brazil, which has been provoking more than salutary debates. Although copious research has been written about research in Brazil, the law has been systematically forgotten. Legal research is one of the most backward in the country and government investments in the area are insignificant, notwithstanding that one of the most important higher education courses sought by high school graduates in the country is right. This phenomenon is due to several factors, such as the professionalization (and even proletarianization) of the profession, mercantilism in private legal courses, omission of the State and society, not to mention the lasting consequences of the qualitative emptying of the legal faculty carried out by the government military that has extended since 1964. Despite their importance, these causes cannot be considered here.
