Beside the classic-hermeneutic method, legal research applies other, interdisciplinary approaches as well. This section focuses on "Law and Economis", which examines the effects of legal regulations by using analytic methods of modern economic theory. In addition, the aim is to carry out empirical studies in the field of legal fact research in cooperation with the economic and social sciences.

The International Network for Law and Economics - lucernaforum, a platform for interdisciplinary research, uses concrete scientific projects to connect and support research in the fields of Law and Economics.
