Discipline
Law
Legal writing is judged on authority and precision. An argument built on secondary commentary where primary sources exist, or citations that do not follow the required form exactly, loses marks regardless of the reasoning.

- Chicago
- Harvard
Your department’s own guide overrides any published version, and that is the one we work from.
Typical projects
- LLM dissertations in EU, international and comparative law
- Problem questions and case notes
- Doctrinal analysis of legislation and case law
- Comparative studies across two or more European jurisdictions
- Human rights and regulatory research
Methods and tools
- Doctrinal analysis of primary legal sources
- Comparative method across civil and common law systems
- Case law analysis and ratio identification
- Socio-legal and empirical legal research
- Policy and regulatory impact analysis
European legal research routinely requires sources in more than one language. Our working language is English, and we flag at the scoping stage where significant material exists only in another language so you can decide how to handle it.
Citation form for cases, legislation and EU instruments differs by jurisdiction and by faculty. We apply the guide your school issued rather than a generic version of OSCOLA.
