Legal documentary research in focus...Law as a discipline is a science just as any other social science. But legal research tends to have its own peculiarity as compared to business, economics, psychology, journalism, sociology, history, philosophy, and any other. It is more of interpretativism than positivism. It takes the narrtives more serious but at the same time sticks to its own legal traditions. However, OSCOLA has remained the most preferred systems of citations accepted by many common law jurisdictions including Kenya.
