Abstract
In this article, we describe the process of teaching and learning law in the evening program of a Colombian law school. Our analysis is based on a qualitative, observational study supported by the methodology of participatory action research. First, we argue that evening legal education has been systematically overlooked by the specialized literature in the Global South, despite its social significance. Second, we show that the profile of evening students —adults who work during the day and often have prior technical, technological, or professional training—challenges traditional pedagogical logics, which remain anchored in the figure of the young, full-time student. Third, we contend that the experience of evening legal education anticipates central debates in contemporary legal education, particularly with regard to the expansion of online and híbiridos o semipresenciales programs designed for students who, like those in evening programs, combine study and work.
