Abstract

Case studies are a research methodology used to analyze a particular situation, event, person, group or entity in detail with the aim of understanding complex phenomena in their real context and extracting valuable knowledge and lessons from that in-depth exploration. In the legal sciences, the implementation of case studies is ideal for the context in which work is carried out in the field of specific cases that are presented.
