PENDEKATAN SOSIAL DALAM PENELITIAN HUKUM
ABSTRACT: Recently, we are
witnessing the vast expansion of the use of social methods in law research. The
so-called socio-legal research is one way of using scientific methodologies in
social science disciplines (such as sociology, anthropology, economics,
language) to find answers for legal problems. In this paper I would like to
unfold how these methods influence the legal reasoning in legal research, to
what extent they can be used or even to be misused. Law, is a specific subject,
in which law text are authoritative in nature, which makes it having its own
particularities that differs it from other texts. As an authoritative text,
approach to law is narrowed as it supposed to maintain the certainty of the law
itself. However, legal problems do not always concern with merely legal text,
it also touches many aspects of the societies, which for this part, law needs
approaches from other social sciences methods. In this writing, legal research
methods are differentiated based on the user of the information it will
provide.
