Kokkuvõte	Comparative case law analysis is a qualitative legal research method that systematically examines and contrasts judicial decisions from two or more legal systems or jurisdictions. By placing rulings side by side, the method identifies convergences, divergences, and the underlying legal reasoning that shapes how courts address similar legal questions across different national or regional contexts.	Doctrinal legal research is the foundational methodology of legal scholarship. It systematically identifies, reads, and analyses authoritative legal sources — statutes, case law, constitutional texts, and regulations — to describe, explain, and critique the content and internal logic of legal doctrine. By working within the accepted hierarchy of legal sources, it answers the question 'What is the law?' with analytical rigour and interpretive precision, producing descriptions of settled doctrine and arguments for how ambiguities should be resolved.
