Findings indicated, however, that ELS is good for socio-legal scholarship because it contains both essential ingredients for success in a professional market: knowledge and power. Findings are discussed in detail. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
