Law is about the legal rules that exist in society and how these rules should be applied. Legal research responds to the challenges of society, the living environment and the market, which are linked to various social trends and local and global changes.
The increasing complexity of the law - including Europeanisation and other internationalisation, increased mobility and cultural pluralism, changes in the media landscape, increased use of new technologies and alternative forms of regulation and dispute resolution, and increased scrutiny of the justice system - poses significant challenges to legal scholarship. We at Stockholm University are meeting these challenges by providing nationally leading and internationally outstanding legal research of high quality.
