Abstract

This paper highlights the importance of a methodological approach in “law and litera-ture” research, noting that many analyses, especially those by students and young scholars, lack an introduction to their methodology. It emphasizes the need for a common language between legal and literary scholars to bridge their interdisciplinary gap. The paper provides a concise guideline on how to approach “law in literature” topics from a methodological perspective, stressing the importance of literary theory and context-specific interpretation. It suggests practical steps to define legal terms and clarify legal contexts, ensuring comprehensibility for both disciplines. The goal is to enhance mutual understanding and improve the quality of interdisciplinary analyses.
