CASTANEDA GUERRERO, DIANA ALEXANDRA. The Network Theory in Legal Investigations: A Review of the Literature. Estud. Socio-Juríd [online]. 2021, vol.23, n.2, pp.273-301.  Epub July 17, 2022. ISSN 0124-0579.  https://doi.org/10.12804/revistas.urosario.edu.co/sociojuridicos/a.9359.

Contemporary legal research faces the challenge of incorporating methodologies used in other social sciences; it is in this scenario that Network Theory appears as an instrument that provides tools in the approach to the study of law. There are three applications for network analysis, norm networks, jurisprudential networks, and textual networks to analyze the internal structure of a norm. After presenting the three perspectives as a way to bring other researchers closer to the use of networks in legal sciences, they state that the potential of networks in handling large amounts of information can become a limitation due to the inability to observe the details of the objects of study.

Keywords : Network theory; legal networks; jurisprudential networks.
