ABSTRACT

This chapter aims to demystify the process of finding a topic for research, and provides tools and questions to help find an area that suits law student interests and strengths. Looking for topics can be exciting but also overwhelming. Law is a socially and politically important aspect of the world and it is constantly changing. Dissertation topics often come from past life experiences, or from topics and debates that law student found challenging during their studies. Some students know from the first year of their undergraduate studies what they want to research for the dissertation, whereas others struggle to find suitable topics until the very last moment. If law student university library has no content on their particular area of study, they must consider whether they are able to find relevant, high-quality materials to rely on in the course of their research.
