Abstract
The article examines law comparison as a research method and its application in reinforcing legal systems. Comparative legal research methods and challenges will be briefly discussed. Comparative legal research is crucial for identifying effective methods, promoting legal framework uniformity and comprehension, as well as modernising the legal system. This article also discusses comparative law and model laws like the New York Convention (the “NYC”) on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards. Comparative law investigations ensure fair, efficient, and successful utilisation of legal systems. The author suggests that legal practitioners and scholars utilise it to clarify legal difficulties and find worldwide best practices.
