THE USE OF THE R-STUDIO SYSTEM AND JURIMETRICS AS COMPLEMENTARY TOOLS FOR THE LEGAL RESEARCH

The present research aims to answer the following question: Is it possible to build a dialogical and didactic bridge between high level legal research and the use of econometric methods? The main idea is the use of R-Studio software, typical of statistical studies, as a tool to support legal research based on data analysis, which can already be done by jurimetrics and should be widely disseminated by teaching practices. The complementarity between quantitative and qualitative research is essential, precisely so that it is possible to read the data and replicate the methods of each study. This essay have theoretical basis on texts by Flavio Rezende, Jackson Alves de Aquino and Johanna Visser. To construct the research, the qualitative approach was used, interpreting the studied phenomena and relating the events. It is possible to conclude that the research design is the defining element of the integration between methods, from which tools from other areas of knowledge can be used, such as System R for studies of the legal sciences. It is also concluded that the teacher should stimulate the use of other knowledge for the construction of high level scientific knowledge, from the construction of a dialogical bridge between econometric tools and high level legal research.
