CCCS Global Public Law Seminar: Researching public law: a panel discussion on legal method

Methodology is of rising importance in public law, and increasingly the subject of intense debate. Methodology implicates fundamental questions over what the public law academy is for, and how scholars ought to approach their task. But questions of method are also of wider significance, being of importance for anyone who wishes to understand and reason by reference to law, particularly legal actors such as practitioners and judges. This CCCS Global Public Law Seminar addressed the issue of method, and feature leading scholars who have contributed to the important forthcoming book, Researching Public Law in Common Law Systems (Edward Elgar). This collection, edited by Professors Paul Daly and Joe Tomlinson, is the first to offer a systematic treatment of public law methods in common law systems. Our international panel of leading public lawyers will reflect on the issue of legal method, with a specific focus on doctrinal method and legal reason, Indigenous approaches, and comparative law: Professor Joe Tomlinson (University of York) – the importance of legal methodology. (0:04:48 mins) Professor Jason Varuhas (Melbourne Law School) – doctrinal methods and the distinctive nature of legal reasoning. (0:16:04 mins) Professor Theunis Roux (UNSW) – comparative approaches to public law. (0:38:36 mins) Professor Janna Promislow (University of Victoria, British Columbia) – Indigenous law and Indigenous approaches to public law. (0:59:46 mins) In respect of each method the panellists discussed the method’s essential characteristics and the unique insight each method can offer, as well as its limitations, and reflect critically on scholarship within their given fields. This recording also includes the informative debate and discussion at the conclusion of the formal presentations.
