Método e Pesquisa Jurídica

Research Methods for Law - McConville & Choi, 2007

"Social researchers have used the acronym FINER (feasible, interesting, novel, ethical, relevant) to assess the quality of the research question. Words such as ‘what’, ‘when’, ‘who’, ‘where’, ‘which’, and ‘how’ are often used when formu- lating research questions. ‘What’, ‘when’, ‘who’ and ‘where’ questions seek descriptive answers; ‘why’ questions seek understanding and explanation; and ‘how’ questions seek appropriate interventions to bring about change. If research questions are not specific and answerable, it is very likely that the remaining research activities will be fruitless and meaningless. The transition from a general to specific question sometimes consumes a considerable amount of time, nonetheless it is a necessary task to be completed before proceeding to the next stage of research process."
