| Description | Legal research is often misunderstood by many researchers in the built environment, especially novices. The role of legal research as a suitable approach, employing both primary and secondary sources of data to arrive at logically sound outcomes, is often under-valued or even mischaracterised as a tool for preliminary enquiry. These misconceptions stem from lack of understanding of the province of legal research in the built environment and the procedures involved. The aim of this chapter is to dispel this misunderstanding by explaining the scope and the procedures involved in legal research. Doctrinal legal research is a dominant aspect of legal research. In its basic form, it involves locating, describing, interpreting, and systematising legal principles and concepts, with the legal system as a conceptual framework. The resources for this exercise were primary data (legislation) and secondary data (e.g. law reports, legal commentaries, and other literature about law) and the outcomes are supported by, and based on, sound reasoning.
