This is one of two research projects which have to be done by research students.

Research project II
This research project should be linked to the insights derived from the courses Methodology III: ‘External perspective’ or Methodology IV: Law as an Academic Discipline. The research project has to show the student can successfully integrate the methodological perspectives and requirements central to these courses in legal research.
The research projects is carried out under the supervision of a professor, an associate professor or an experienced assistant professor or postdoc. The topic can be devised at the student's initiative and the supervisor can be approached by the student.
To develop a research project, the student will consult with the supervisor he/she has found, to formulate a research question which will then be further elaborated. Senior researchers connected with the research programmes may also suggest topics for research, a list of which will be made available during the annual research project meeting.
As a research project, normally a paper is written (indicatively 10,000-15,000 words (20 to 25 pages)), but different forms are possible. For further information, the LRM information guide can be consulted. The LRM information guide also contains more information about the choice of language and the writing process.
