Empirical Legal Studies

ELS Atelier

Craft your own empirical research in workshops of the ELS Atelier!

Are you curious about empirically studying a legal question and willing to give it a try, but simply wouldn’t know where to start? Or do you already have some experience with empirical research, but would need further assistance to bring a project to completion? Then we are here to help you out!

The ELS Atelier is a place where, in small groups, you will actively work your way through the empirical cycle, irrespective of the stage you are in. The current cycle of Ateliers has been running since October 2023, when two groups enthusiastically started active and/or passive tracks on qualitative and/or quantitative legal research. In these sessions, they are being guided by an expert and their peers.  

Are you interested to learn more about or participate in a future ELS Atelier cycle?  Please feel free to reach out to us at elslab@law.leidenuniv.nl. 

It is currently not possible to sign up for our current cycle of ateliers. We look forward to welcoming you in one of our future cycles!
