The aim of this article is to reflect on the methodology of legal research in Latin America. In this context, the author criticizes the traditional legal research, which has focused, especially, on the normative comparison, and not on the social reality and the purpose of the Law with the social change. Due to this, a type of dynamic legal research is proposed that analyzes the different legal manifestations with the support of interdisciplinarity, such as social sciences. For this, the author points out, it is necessary to stop conceiving the Law as an isolated phenomenon, and start to understand it as part of society; likewise, it must be valued as a tool at the service of the community. In this regard, it is important that the new legal research reflects an instrumental end that allows the Law to be a means that links to the social reality and allows social change.
