Abstract

This paper builds on two previously published contributions to ECIL (2014 and 2016) and develops the relationship between information literacy and legal literacy, this time focusing on legal literacy. The paper investigates whether or not information literacy and legal literacy can influence one another in the context of human rights and active citizenship in the Czech Republic, and is based on a comprehensive survey of both legal literacy and information literacy research.
