From the reader’s perspective this is important as he or she needs to understand what your research question is and why the research is significant in terms of what issue in legal practice will it help them to better understand. • the reasons why this legal issue is worth a reader’s attention, • the gaps in the current knowledge, • the purpose of the study. Chapter 2 Literature review This is important from the reader’s perspective as it will allow them to sight your research within the general body of knowledge in that area and, if they wish, to access one or more of the sources you assessed in the literature review directly. Chapter 3 Description of research methods It is important as it enables the reader to better understand your data and assess the validity and universality of the conclusions you reach. Chapter 4 Presentation of research findings You need to present your research findings. Again, this will vary significantly depending on the type of research but should in essence set out the data you have collected. For qualitative research it is customary to set out the themes that the research has identified. Chapter 5 Discussion of research and conclusions You should discuss what your findings mean in relation to the theoretical body of knowledge relating to that topic and legal practice. You should ensure you draw a clear conclusion as this will ensure you answer the so-called ‘so what’ question. That is to say that you convince the reader that it was worth asking the research question in the first place.
