dc.description.abstractChoosing a researchable topic is an inevitable point of call for any intending researcher. It is the foundation that dictates the trends throughout the study. However, the process of choosing a good researchable topic is herculean. This is because an intending researcher cannot afford to undergo certain systematic laid-down procedures. This has made most upcoming academic researchers run away from research activities. Against this backdrop, this paper examines the process of choosing a good researchable legal topic with sole reliance on the doctrinal method of legal research. The paper finds that a good research topic has certain characteristics such as being clear, straightforward, unambiguous and easily comprehensible; being tailored towards areas of interests and competencies of the researcher; not representing a moral, spiritual or esoteric situation etc. The paper finds further that factors for choosing a good researchable legal topic include FINE techniques and FRIENDS modes, amongst others. The paper reveals that generating ideas to choose a good researchable topic could be achieved vide attending viva, conferences, literature reviews, and brainstorming to mention but a few. The paper equally finds that certain tools could assist a researcher to achieve choosing a good researchable legal topic. These tools include selecting appropriate areas of research, replica study of the past related research, studying recommendations for future research etc. The paper finds also that the significance of choosing a good researchable legal topic is deeply rooted in its uniqueness and identity from the previous research in conformity with the rule against plagiarism. The paper finally finds that a good researchable legal topic is susceptible to changes, modifications and amendments depending on the developments and trends in the course of the research. The paper recommends constant and continuous engagement in research activities for the upcoming academic researchers to attain perfection.
