Literature Reviews

Please find below details of our specialist service for law students looking to order a customised model literature review, either as part of a full dissertation order or as a standalone piece.

The Importance of Your Literature Review

Your literature review is the key theoretical section of your dissertation, and typically represents 30 - 40% of your overall dissertation's length. It is therefore critical that your literature review is as well-researched, structured and written as possible.

Nonetheless, despite its importance, putting together a comprehensive literature review can be a daunting task and it is here that very many students damage their overall dissertation mark by producing a poor literature review.

Typical Problems with Your Literature Review

Students frequently encounter several problems with their literature review.

Firstly, many students will never have prepared such a specific type of work before and therefore are unfamiliar with the particular theoretical, structural and referencing requirements of a literature review. In particular, students often make the dangerous mistake of thinking that a literature review is a mere alphabetical presentation of the books, journals and cases that you have used in your dissertation. The actual purpose of a literature review is to carefully choose a range of sources related to your title investigation and then to assess how the various theoretical and scholarly points raised in those sources establish the theoretical foundation for your own title. In other words, by analyzing what prominent scholars have written on your dissertation area you will be better prepared to contrast your own findings against theirs.

Other difficulties for students include managing the large volume of published material that is required for a literature review: typically, 50 - 100 sources. Analysing, synthesising and presenting the appropriate information and formulating it into a well-structured review is often difficult, simply because it is the first time students have been asked to complete a task of this nature.
