This paper aims to develop an analysis of the method used within comparative law. To achieve this objective, the research goes over some steps. The first one is to recover the debate about the meaning and importance of methodology and method under the law. The second moment is dedicated to analyze the concept of method within the comparative law framework and on giving the reader a non-exhaustive list of methods used in the subject. Finally, and in order to present a new perspective, the paper aligns with the position that considers that, in a comparative basis, comparative law does not have a single most appropriate and effective method. Instead, the paper argues that there is a plurality of methods in comparative law. They are complementary and can be used concurrently making comparative studies possible to reach more accurate results. The choice of the method(s) is, therefore, a free and legitimate choice of the researcher and will vary according to his/her scientific interests.
