Abstract
Clinical Legal Education (CLE) is based on the idea that law
practice requires thinking and doing. It is founded on the
notion of learning by doing in which law students gain
lawyering skills by performing lawyering tasks and
responsibilities. This method gives students the opportunity to
work on actual and simulated cases and solve legal problems
systematically. This paper discusses the implementation and
application of CLE at the Faculty of Syariah And Law, Universiti
Sains Islam Malaysia with emphasis on Problem-based
learning, specifically relating to its process, model of PBL
activities, targeted skills, student assessment and student
feedback. Discussion also covers benefit and challenges of
applying CLE and PBL at the faculty. It discusses the experience
of the instructor in applying PBL in two courses. This paper
comes up with suggestion on the application and
implementation of the method in a law school so that law
students can master practical legal skills in order to be more
employable.
