Sumario:The "Problem Based Learning", despite knowing a scientific-medical origin, is proliferating as a teaching technique in legal teaching due to similarities between the common skills that instills in students and the competencies to be acquired by every lawyer. However, its implementation in advocacy even today has serious reservations and faces quite a few challenges, most notably in the Spanish University. This paper presents a brief outline and review of the space traditional scholastic education is occupying in Law, before raising in depth the experience of PBL implementing in a particular subject of Private Law, after the award of a Teaching Innovation Project. Reflection is therefore the author?s own experience. The objectives and activities involved as well as the system of assessment are described with special emphasis; a rich literature on the state of the discussion around this active methodology is offered in the conclusion.
