Problem-Based Learning 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. This new textbook
creates a fresh approach to learning land law through the use of
scenarios found in real-life which bring what is often perceived to
be a dry and difficult subject to life. This helps both to engage
the student and make the subject more accessible as well as
demonstrating to students how land law actually operates in the
real world. Land Law is often seen as an esoteric subject with lots
of technicalities and complex vocabulary and students often forget
the context in which it operates. With Land Law: A Problem-Based
Approach, context is placed at the heart of learning. Students are
learning through application rather than via an abstract set of
rules and can therefore gain a deeper understanding of how land law
works, not just what it is. Unlike other textbooks, Land Law: A
Problem-Based Approach integrates a thorough exposition of the law
with practice, facilitating a more active learning approach and
helping students to engage directly with the key cases and statutes
to develop key skills of analysis, problem-solving and application.
Written in a clear and concise style but without sacrificing detail
or analysis, the book guides the reader towards a deeper
understanding of the land law curriculum. Key features include: *
An introductory chapter outlining the problem-based learning
approach and how to use the book. * Content overviews at the start
of each chapter which provide a useful outline of the chapter's
content and the key principles * PBL scenarios at the start of each
chapter which provide the real-life context to each topic and help
to familiarise readers with the legal language and style they will
encounter. Together with the relevant supporting documents, these
scenarios are referenced and integrated throughout the chapter *
'let's put this into context' boxes which require students to apply
the law that they have learnt back to the problem scenario and
offer opportunities to reflect and consolidate on the content
covered * Essential Cases and Essential Statutes boxes reinforce
the essential role of cases and legislation in the development and
application of land law and help students identify key cases and
legislation for revision purposes * Understanding Terminology boxes
and an online glossary help students to get to grips with the
technical terms and vocabulary unique to land law * Tables and
diagrams explain difficult concepts and rules, ideal for visual
learners * Tips and notes highlight key issues and make links
between different aspects of the law without interrupting the flow
of the text. * Specimen exam-style questions are ideal for revision
and help to provide opportunities to apply learning and practice

idyllic rural community. The subsequent actions of the villagers,
