Transnational Legal Communication: Towards Comprehensible and Consistent Law

Abstract

Transnational legal communication seeks to identify transnational legal regimes and attempts to establish channels and technics for comprehensible communication of the legal information to specified groups of recipients. It also strives to conclude about possible inconsistencies in law. The approach is based on the cooperation of scientists within the area of law and applied linguistics and the coordination of their efforts, in order to conduct research from various perspectives, share conclusions and develop more complete approaches as well as achieve and mutually use more multilateral research results. It strives to reconcile legal research and linguistics research despite of their very different paradigms. The paper aims to explain the nature of legal communication and to establish its general research questions and objectives. The study is going to find an answer to the question what methods are to be used to communicate law comprehensively to its recipients and to draw conclusions on the consistency of legal regimes to be communicated. It accentuates that the solidarity necessary to achieve the objective of comprehensible and consistent law goes beyond the particular interests of individual sciences and is the foundation of the existence of the transnational legal communication community, non-depending on the place of living and the scope of practical knowledge.

Lenses of Legal Research: A Descriptive Essay on Legal Research Methodologies

“…Dalam ilmu hukum metode penelitian yang mendominasi adalah metode dogmatis (doctrinal/normatif) terdiri dari analisis tindakan hukum, serta analisis produk hukum seperti keputusan pengadilan, praktik diplomatik, dan kegiatan negara lain dalam bidang penelitian yang melayani implementasi sesuai dengan tujuan spesifiknya. Sedangkan penelitian hukum empiris bertujuan untuk mengumpulkan pengetahuan secara sistematis dengan menganalisis akibat-akibat hukum berdasarkan pengamatan (Osiejewicz, 2020). Hal ini dinilai dalam konteks pengaruh hukum di level transnasional, namun masih menggunakan konsep dasar yang digunakan untuk menjelaskan bagaimana suatu hukum berkembang dalam level nasional, dengan mengaitkan dampak dari norma yang berkembang di level internasional terhadap perkembangan hukum suatu negara (Cortell & Davis Jr., 2000).…”
