Présentation
La recherche juridique empirique est définie comme la collecte systématique et l'analyse de données portant sur des phénomènes juridiques. Ces données sont un ensemble d'informations juridiques ou portant sur le droit et, plus largement, sur son fonctionnement dans la société. Celles-ci font l'objet d'une collecte systématique, voire exhaustive, avant d'être analysées pour répondre à une question de recherche et produire des connaissances sur le droit et sur son fonctionnement réel.
Alors que le recherche juridique Nord-Américaine a connu un tournant empirique au milieu des années 2000 et que s'y est structuré un véritable champ de recherche, le développement de ces approches en Europe est beaucoup plus dispersé et inégal selon les pays et les disciplines juridiques. Plusieurs indices révèlent cependant les balbutiements de la structuration de ce champ à l'échelle européenne.
L'objectif de ce colloque est de produire un état des connaissances sur le développement de la recherche juridique empirique à l'échelle européenne. Il s'agit d'abord de retracer les premiers éléments du développement de ces méthodes, de souligner ses principales tendances et d'en élucider les possibles fondements théoriques. Le colloque permettra ensuite de cartographier le recours aux méthodes empiriques dans les différentes disciplines juridiques à travers l'Europe avant d'approfondir cette analyse dans le domaine du droit de l'environnement.
