Problem-Based Learning

The Routledge Problem-Based Learning series is a way of learning that presents a practical problem scenario in the context of which learning is conducted. Normally, students are taught law through the transmission of information about legal principles and not presented with problems until they have accumulated enough information to solve them. In PBL, discussion and analysis of the problem starts the process of learning, rather than acting as an end point. As a curriculum concept, it is becoming increasingly common in law schools as the use of problem scenarios helps to trigger awareness of legal issues and to engage interest by highlighting the real-world ramifications.
