Summary/Abstract: Legal practice and jurisprudence are currently experiencing a methodological crisis. After discussing its roots, we present three general methodological models which rationally ground the so-called legal method – that is, of 'thinking like a lawyer'. We also argue that jurisprudence is inherently characterized by a continuous search for method. This search is driven by practical need, encapsulated in the question: which tool (or method) will prove useful in a given context?
