Abstract
It is neither possible, nor desirable, within the confines of this chapter to purport to offer any kind of ‘instruction manual’ for doing feminist legal research. Instead, my aim in the following discussion is to give a brief sketch of key theoretical contributions that feminist analyses have made to our understandings of, and expectations in relation to, law and legal process. Having done so, I explore some of the ways in which feminist methods can be deployed in empirical socio-legal research, and highlight in particular its utility in the context of studying the parameters, content and dilemmas of lay (and quasi-legal) decision-making. As part of this discussion, I also draw attention to some of the tensions that can arise in meeting the demands of access and impact associated with this genre of research whilst preserving the critical and deconstructive spirit of feminism.
