Abstract

This article analyzes the process of transformation that legal research has been undergoing at the Faculty of Law of the University of Chile. Although it is fundamentally descriptive and exploratory, it attempts to explain the phenomenon of the rise of research from documentary-type information, and incidentally characterize it, an issue that has not been carried out until now. Using the historical and bibliographic method, it proposes a first understanding of the data based on notions taken from the sociology of higher education. The systematization of the information and its analysis shows that the policy of encouraging research has configured in a decade an entirely new situation that expresses a favorable turn.

Keywords:

Legal research, research incentives, research culture, University of Chile Law School.
