Authors

  • Rafhael Frattari

Abstract

The purpose of this essay is to present suggestions to students as to the first steps in developing research in Law. Therefore, it is important to make an initial distinction between scientific investigation and superficial inventories or the description of doctrinal or jurisprudential propositions. Next, based on its authors’ experience, it seeks to identify common doubts and misconceptions that often emerge at the beginning of legal research. Afterwards, issues related to the research project are discussed, starting with the construction of the main issue, proceeding through the theoretical framework, by hypothesis, justification, and objectives, up to the final elements: the research timeline, financial chart, preliminary bibliography, and bibliographic references.
