Abstract :
Mixed Methods of research is mostly common in
Social science Studies. This approach is usually taken to be
an assorted method of qualitative and quantitative
exploration. Some scholars and or researchers have been
and consider Legal research applicable methods to be hired
from the social sciences. Others take position that Legal
researches have no methods of their own. Legal Researches
are therefore attacked by some scholars and blamed of
having no methods and living on principles deserting the
society. Taking a legal research to stand as a parasite on
bases of legal methods, a doctrinal method in particular has
as well succumbed into special attack. With doctrinal
research means black letters and or Library researches as
others refer it to. In whatever case as may stand, this study
goes through the mixed methods as observed by a number
of social science writers to observe how mixed is the method
and its compatibility in other disciplines and legal studies
in particular. In so doing, this study establishes non social
sciences approaches by fusing a doctrinal legal research
with qualitative elements to come up with a Mixed Legal
Research method for legal discipline. This brings about
establishment and expansion of a component of doctrinal
and qualitative research elements for a new generation of a
mixed method for legal research. This study advocates that
the mixed method of research depends on the discipline and
intended destination. In conclusion thereof, this study
advocates that combined methods of doctrinal and
Qualitative may apply in legal research to support each
other.
