Cardozo Journal of International and Comparative Law
Abstract
The article explores the use of numerical methods in comparative law, questioning whether statistical approaches can effectively simplify legal complexity without oversimplification. It examines both the potential benefits and drawbacks of quantifying legal systems, arguing that while numerical methods can enhance practical utility, they must be used cautiously to avoid neglecting legal complexity and contextual factors.
