The challenge of a “legal analysis of (x)” entails a theoretical and methodological claim. This formula expresses the idea that legal analysis may focus on any element, referred to as x. The objects that may be subjected to legal analysis are therefore not limited to the rules of law and their implementation by the courts. Like other social sciences, legal sciences can focus their analyses on the most diverse objects, based on their own conceptualizations. Legal analysis thus sheds its own light to objects that it shares with other social sciences.
