Abstract
The Administrative Law is a body of law that runs across various activities of all administrative agencies of the government. The implementation of its principles within administrative bodies is important to ensure that powers are exercised within limits and that the limitation of power is legal. The teaching of Administrative Law requires the instructor to assist learners see the operation of the principles in diverse settings and encourage them to foster lifelong learning. The requirement has led to the application of problem based method for learning Administrative Law that allows student to explore numerous possibilities of solutions and different dimensions for any given problem and encourage them to be independent researcher. This research aims to look at the process of applying problem-based learning (PBL) in Administrative Law course with Environmental Law infused, in the wake of the environmental protection and enforcement problems in Malaysia. It first explains the purpose of legal education and the reasons for promoting PBL in the curriculum. Then, the reason for adopting environmental law issues in the course is discussed. Next, is the explanation on the real process involved in PBL and activities that students underwent throughout the PBL sessions. The highlight of this paper is the discovery made by the learners when researching on the problem. This study shows that some of the major challenges in the application of PBL involve making learners realise their potential to master various legal skills while grasping the rudiment content of the law.
