Challenges And Possibilities For The Professionalization Of Scientific Research In Law

Abstract

The main objective of this paper is to present some considerations about scientific research in Law as a professional career. This paper departs from a historical rescue on the institutionalization of Bachelor of Law in Brazil, as well as postgraduate studies in this area, to reflect on the contradictions present in the field about the meanings of research in Law. Without forgetting the instrumental character of Law by maintaining and creating elites in Brazil, we present in the text strategies for permanence and maintenance in academic research as an option for professional practice in Law. In the final considerations, we register some questions for future reflections.
