What happens during examination
Political science examination analyses an object in its available social and political, informational and temporal context, rather than in isolation. The submitted materials, their content and relationships between relevant circumstances are studied; coherent reasoning to answer the questions posed is then developed.
If the materials are insufficient
After receiving materials under an accepted order, the specialist requests additional information or original files where necessary. This helps avoid substituting assumptions for examination and properly define the limits of possible conclusions.
Who may submit materials
For contractual work, materials may come from the client, their representative or advocate or defence counsel, or another person who lawfully holds them. The payer and the person actually submitting materials need not be the same.
