Abstract

Nobody can learn to investigate in some special courses with such names as: “Technical of investigation” or signs like that. It is not useful but being pleased in pretenses “academic labyrinthine” or to be distracted in learning formalistic repertoires about some procedure rules. The capacity to investigate is above all a result acquired INTUITIVELY, along many years, by the inhabit of “burning the midnight oil” with readings of high academic level (¡ones that be really difficult!), prompted by rigorous professors. Besides, to avoid falling into very common mistakes, it is fundamental not to ignore certain HEURISTICS orientation precautions : the “anti simplistic” mental attitude, being warning about the cognitive obstacles originating from the linguistic “ambushes” and from the legal normativism, not to accept hastily the prevalent opinions and not to be pleased with assemble some join of bibliographical copies (“put on file”) taken from Standard.
