Rethinking Legal Methods after Brexit

This article provides a critical, personal appraisal of attempts at designing an introductory Legal Methods module, from the perspective of Brexit. Focusing on the author’s own “cases and materials” collection, it interrogates how, rather than challenging a number of paradigms which subsequently dominated Brexit discourses, it unwittingly reproduced them. The second part of the article seeks to respond by suggesting various ways in which a Legal Methods module might introduce students to legal analysis through the example of Brexit itself.
