Analysing coherence in law through legal scholarship (CLLS)

Start date: Jan 1, 2017, End date: Dec 31, 2021,

Coherence of law is created in the writings of legal scholars who systematize rules and principles of law. Their pursuit of coherence is vital for the effectiveness of legal systems. However, coherence of law has almost not been analysed in a systematic, empirical way. The project will therefore develop a methodology that will address coherence across forms (‘sources’) of law (legislation, legal s...

Making Scientific Inferences More Objective (Objectivity)

Start date: Sep 1, 2015, End date: Aug 31, 2020,

"What makes scientific inferences trustworthy? Why do we think that scientific knowledge is more than the subjective opinion of clever people at universities? When answering these questions, the notion of objectivity plays a crucial role: the label "objective" (1) marks an inference as unbiased and trustworthy and (2) grounds the authority of science in society. Conversely, any challenge to this i...
