Empirical Legal Studies

Empirical Legal Studies in Leiden focuses on building an interdisciplinary community of legal scholars and social scientists who collaboratively explore legal questions on the intersection of law and behavior using a variety of methods.

Empirical Legal Studies is one of the legal science themes of the Leiden Law School as part of the Law Sector Plan, the other being Institutions for Conflict Resolution. The project receives funding from the Dutch Ministry of Education, Culture and Science (OCW) for a six-year period (2019-2025).
