Resumen

Los artículos de este número especial se centran en los retos metodológicos y prácticos que plantea la realización de investigaciones empíricas en el ámbito judicial y/o de los tribunales. Surgieron de un seminario del Instituto Internacional de Sociología Jurídica celebrado los días 23 y 24 de junio de 2022, en el que se debatieron las estrategias empíricas para acceder a los funcionarios judiciales y llevar a cabo investigaciones con ellos, así como los métodos de investigación y los tipos de datos utilizados, como entrevistas, encuestas, observaciones en los tribunales, datos administrativos, documentos y fotografías. Los artículos se basan en las experiencias de los investigadores sociojurídicos en este campo, abordan la importancia de los vínculos con el sistema judicial y analizan una serie de perspectivas sociojurídicas, enfoques metodológicos y métodos procedentes de disciplinas como la antropología, el derecho, las ciencias políticas, la psicología y la sociología.
