Abstract
In the context of the process of population aging, law has an essential role in responding to the needs of the older adult population, so that the incorporation of the law of aging in law schools is essential to ensure a deep and interdisciplinary approach to this phenomenon. The purpose of the text is to propose a new pedagogical approach to address the discussion on old age in law schools, as well as to present the challenges faced in this area. For this purpose, the results of the incorporation of the Experiential Legal Learning methodology in the teaching of Old Age Law in a law school in Colombia are presented, as well as the subsequent realization of a focus group, through which the reflections, difficulties and learning of the students regarding this topic were analyzed. Among the results found, it is evident that from the academy there is a need for a greater development of a «law of old age» that allows contributing to the answers that the law should give to the accelerated process of population aging currently experienced in Latin America.
