Abstract
Judging by the number of enquiries received, visits made and conference discussions wide interest has been shown by academics and students alike in the form and content of legal education at the York Law School (YLS). YLS has, since its inception, used a problem-based learning model for study across all foundation and most, if not all, optional modules and at both undergraduate (LLB) and postgraduate (LLM) levels. Following repeated requests to explain how PBL works in an integrated legal education context this contribution sets out to describe exactly how these programmes are structured and will hopefully promote further discussion on the rationale behind and effectiveness of such an approach to study
