ABSTRACT
Scientific research is one of the basic and main criteria to measure the extent of the country’s development, by considering it the primary engine of development.On the other hand, the methodology considers as the backbone of scientific research itself, there is no scientific research without an approach that deals with the problem of the study and determines its dimensions, aspects and causes. From researchers point of view, it is appropriate for legal studies -articles and books-to educate students how to understand the technical methodologies of law science and to engage them in how workers in the legal fields -lawyers and judges and legislative draft-think.This study aims to explore the legal research method using a descriptive analysis. The data collection was through library research. The library research was conducted to seek relevant information by collecting secondary data and valid info that can assist researcher answer the research question. All collected data has been analyzed using doctrinal method. In addition, data collection has been gathered through library research in public and private universities in Jordan and Malaysia. The secondary resources from which data will be collected are mainly include textbooks and journal articles by scholars to constitute the legal basis of this work by critically analyzing and comparing the various opinions expressed in these materials. The objectives of the study are to clear the blurred image on how students, understand the method of the legal science research. One of the most important results of the study, is that the legal approach used for each study differs from the other, because what governs the choice of methodology in legal sciences is the problem of study, so the researcher must estimate what is the correct methodology that can be followed from the subject of the study only.
1. Introduction
Methodology is the “WAY OUT”. Every researcher in this planet needs methodology to reach the exit point when he/she conducts a research of any kind of science.which is accumulative process of knowledge, which starts from the emergence of a problem, -theoretical or practical-until solution. Research methodology can be defined as the mechanism for controlling the connection process between the starting point and the arrival point of the research.(Okasha & Mansour, 2008)It is the set of controls and directives that enable the researcher to define and address the research material, and the directions that enable him to know how to search, how to analyze, how to present, and how to discuss. without a suitable methodology, research will not reach anywhere.(Khalil,2010)
However, the lack of knowledge is not a problem in itself, it is related to the nature of the human who knows many things and unaware more things. Humans acquires a lot of knowledge by instinct or experience, but it requires time, work and tireless effort, and it is related to individual experiences on the one hand and the community framework on the other hand. human being is distinguished from other living creatures by his ability to learn.(Al-Hassan, 2008)The retie archer acquires the necessary knowledge of the methodology science during his educational career, through methodology science,which is a science that is concerned with the study of scientific methods and approachable a specific science.(Okasha & Mansour, 2008)The research methodology in legal science or legal methodology is the study of scientific and technical methods and approaches of the science of law.(Khalil, 2010)This study aims to explore the legal research method followed by researchers with descriptive analysis. The data collection was through library and field research. The library research was conducted to seek relevant information by collecting secondary data and valid info that can assist researcher answer the research question. All collected data has been analyzed using doctrinal method. In addition, data collection has been gathered through library research in public and private universities in Jordan and Malaysia. The secondary resources from which data will be collected are mainly include textbooks and journal articles by scholars to constitute the legal basis of this work by critically analyzing and comparing the various opinions expressed in these materials. The objectives of the study are to clear the blurred image on how students, understand the method of the legal science research.(Al Amaren & Indriyani, 2019
Legal research is "the process of identifying and retrieving information necessary to support legal decision-making. In its broadest sense, legal research includes each step of a course of action that begins with an analysis of the facts of a problem and concludes with the application and communication of the results of the investigation.
