Summary : What place do we give to testimonies from legal subjects in our critical research? In this presentation, Professor Lavoie offers a theoretical and methodological reflection on the study of the critical capacities of legal subjects. The conference will first focus on a theoretical discussion concerning the integration of people's experiences into critical legal research in order to explore how testimonies, personal experiences and lived realities can inform our reflections. Secondly, the conference will discuss some methodological tips in order to achieve a rigorous and relevant analysis of the experiences of people who themselves test power relations in their daily lives.
