Research field

Socio-legal research

Law on paper often differs from law in action. We study that gap with field data and legal analysis, then make realistic recommendations.

Questions we often study

Compliance

Why businesses or citizens do, or do not, comply with a rule.

Access to justice

Barriers people face in using legal channels and legal aid.

Customary law & dispute resolution

Customary courts, mediation and out-of-court dispute resolution.

Cyber law & personal data

Personal data protection, digital platforms and cybercrime.

Business & licensing law

How licensing and competition rules affect businesses.

Labour

Worker protection and how labour rules are applied.
