This paper aims to spread some thoughts on our own experience with empirical research,especially that we run from 2009 to 2010, in two slums of Rio de Janeiro. The object of thisresearch was recognizing and analysing the juridical institutions which have really been workingin Rio’s slums, above of all, those regarded to the land and buildings ownership records, and tothe right to build as well. The paper intends to bring some reflection on methodological andepistemological challenges which are likely to be faced for those who aim to develop this kind ofresearch and to deal with empirical data. Specifically, this article discusses those features whichcan be seen as proper of a so-called juridical approach.
