Abstract
This study understands fiction as a tool for teaching law. It shows teachers and students about the use of fiction to examine different areas of the law. The subject is approached from two perspectives. First, it explores how authors of fiction craft their own law. For this, examples provided by folklore, science fiction and plays are evoked, recalling that the law is an important element in the plot structures and that it is worth studying it. Second, the paper is about how jurists create their own fictional scenarios. To this end, the Socratic method, problem-based learning and the production of plays are addressed, all of them as vehicles for teaching law. With this, it is evident that law and fiction are not antagonistic or incompatible. Both can coexist, either to offer arguments to a fictional author or to operate as a didactic and pedagogical method in the hands of a jurist.
