Practical information
A court file study is a way of collecting data through a textual analysis of court files. Although a court file study can be both a time-consuming and labour-intensive method, it can be of added value to your research because of the contextual information court files can hold. During this workshop we will focus on different types of court files, the process of gaining access to court files, developing an efficient scoring form, collecting the data and the data analysis.

ELS Academy’s No-Show Policy:
Please note that the workshops are given by experts in the field who do this on a voluntary basis. Places are often limited and we have people on the waiting list. For this reason, the ELS Academy has a strict no-show policy. In case you are prevented from attending the workshop, kindly send an email to contact@elsacademy.nl at least 48 hours before the workshop to make space for people on the waiting list.
If you do not attend the workshop without prior cancellation, your supervisor will be informed about your no-show and you will not be able to register for another ELS Academy event for the next two months. This is also very unfortunate for us, however, it can be prevented if we receive a simple cancellation via e-mail.
Thank you for understanding and see you there!
