Zouhair Ghazzal's research covers legal practices and the making of law in contemporary Syrian society (from the 1980s to the present) within a comparative anthropological perspective. His research bypasses the notion of 'Islamic law' by focusing on the normative practices of the law within situated encounters, and it aims at connecting, through interdisciplinary approaches, various societies and legal practices within west Asian societies.
