Abstract

This paper explores the revolutionary impact of integrating Pancasila-based legal education with the Street Law model on Indonesian society. Pancasila, Indonesia's foundational philosophy, serves as a guiding framework for legal education, while the Street Law model provides a practical, experiential learning approach. Through a meticulous case study focused on Indonesia, the research investigates the nuanced ways in which this innovative educational combination contributes to transformative societal changes. The study analyzes the influence of Pancasila-inspired legal education on shaping societal norms, values, and fostering legal awareness. By delving into specific instances and outcomes within the Indonesian context, the research illuminates how this integrated approach cultivates a deeper understanding of legal principles and ethical considerations among the populace. The findings not only highlight the success of this educational model in enhancing legal knowledge but also underscore its broader impact on social dynamics. This paper contributes valuable insights into the potential of Pancasila-based legal education with the Street Law model to revolutionize traditional legal teaching methods and, in turn, foster positive societal advancements within the unique cultural and legal landscape of Indonesia.

Abstract

This paper investigates the role of Pancasila-based legal education through the Street Law model in advocating for social transformation and fostering nationalism among youth in Kenteng Village. As Indonesia strives to strengthen its national identity, particularly among younger generations, integrating Pancasila— the nation’s foundational ideology— into legal education becomes essential. The study outlines a community-driven program that engages university students and local youth in interactive legal workshops, promoting awareness of rights, responsibilities, and civic engagement rooted in Pancasila values. Through participatory methods, the program encourages youth to actively engage in discussions about legal issues and national identity, thereby enhancing their understanding of Indonesian democracy and governance. The findings reveal that this approach not only cultivates a sense of nationalism among participants but also empowers them to become advocates for their communities. Participants reported increased confidence in navigating legal matters and a stronger commitment to civic involvement. This research highlights the importance of advocacy in legal education as a catalyst for social change, demonstrating that the Street Law model can effectively bridge the gap between academic knowledge and practical application in the community. Ultimately, the paper argues for broader implementation of Pancasila-based legal education programs across Indonesia, suggesting that such initiatives can play a vital role in nurturing a generation of informed and engaged citizens dedicated to the ideals of Pancasila.

Abstract

This study provides an overview of the state administrative law dispute surrounding the granting of clemency to Antasari Azhar, a prominent figure involved in a high-profile legal case. The controversy stems from the exercise of executive power and the application of clemency within the framework of state administrative law. Antasari Azhar, a former Indonesian Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) chairman, was convicted in a notable corruption case. Subsequently, his request for clemency sparked debates, legal challenges, and concerns about the integrity of the administrative process. This study delves into the legal dimensions of Antasari Azhar’s clemency case, examining the constitutional and administrative law aspects involved. Key issues include the discretionary powers of the executive in granting clemency, the potential influence of political considerations, and the adherence to legal procedures during the decision-making process. The research aims to shed light on the broader implications of this case for the rule of law, the separation of powers, and the accountability of public officials. Through a comprehensive analysis of relevant legal frameworks, court decisions, and scholarly perspectives, this study seeks to contribute to the understanding of the complex interplay between executive powers and the legal principles governing clemency in the context of state administrative law. Furthermore, it addresses the implications of such disputes for the overall legal and political landscape, emphasizing the importance of transparency, due process, and accountability in the exercise of executive clemency.

Abstract

The implementation of the Bilateral Investment Treaty in Indonesia with foreign investors must still pay attention to the existence of Indonesian state sovereignty. State sovereignty must be maintained by the host state to maintain the existence of the country in the international world. BIT has the main function as an international legal instrument that is useful in foreign investment activities with reciprocal relations in obtaining benefits between the guarantee of legal protection of the home state of foreign investors and the economic growth of the host state. BIT signatories are theoretically balanced and reciprocal, but they are often detrimental to host states, most of which come from developing countries. This research aims to find out the extent of Indonesia's implementation of BIT and still protect the existence of state sovereignty. The method used in this research uses normative and comparative juridical and this research has an analytical descriptive nature. Normative legal research is obtained by studying the Churchill Mining case approach and collecting data from articles, web, books, and websites and then comparing the implementation of BITs in Indonesia as a developing country and the United States as a developed country and comparing the implementation of BITs in fellow developing countries between Indonesia and Brazil. The first victory achieved by Indonesia against Churchill Mining in the resolution of the international investment dispute at the ICSID forum proved the BIT reform in Indonesia that continues to develop. This study showed that: first, The Bilateral Investment Agreement provides legal protection guarantees for foreign investors and settlement of settlement disputes through ICSID, an international investment settlement arbitration agency between the two countries that signed the BIT so that the BIT is a protection guarantee for investors. Second, Indonesia's victory against Churchill Mining proves that it has reformed the BIT that applies to Indonesia in a balanced manner to provide legal protection (host state) and the existence of state sovereignty (home state).

Abstract

Social transformation focusing on youth through Pancasila-based legal education has been implemented in Desa Kenteng using the Street Law model. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of this model in strengthening nationalism and national awareness among village youth. The Street Law method, which integrates Pancasila principles with legal theory and practice, is designed to enhance legal understanding while instilling national values in a local context. The results of the program indicate a significant increase in legal knowledge, with basic legal understanding rising from 30% to 75% after six months. Additionally, there was a substantial increase in nationalism and awareness of Pancasila values, from 40% to 85%, and a rise in social participation from 20% to 60% among village youth. Despite these positive outcomes, challenges such as uncertainty in practical legal application and the need for ongoing support from government and local legal institutions remain. This study recommends integrating national values into legal education policies and adapting program models to local contexts to ensure broader and sustainable impact in other regions.

Abstract

The imposition of a golf tax actually raises legal issues related to the status of golf in connection with the imposition of regional taxes.  The object of this research is the status of golf as entertainment or a sport and the implications of legal uncertainty related to the imposition of regional taxes.  This research is a normative legal study with a historical, legislative, and case approach.  The legal materials used include primary legal materials in the form of legislation and court decisions, secondary legal materials in the form of research results such as journal articles and relevant books, as well as non-legal materials such as language dictionaries. The technique for collecting legal materials is conducted through library research by gathering legal materials from libraries as well as collecting legal materials through national and international journal article websites. The analysis of legal materials is conducted prescriptively, emphasizing legal prescriptions or solutions as answers to legal issues in this research.  The findings of this research emphasize that the legal uncertainty regarding the status of golf as entertainment and a sport in relation to local tax imposition implies that golf, as a sport, can only be subject to VAT and therefore cannot be subject to local tax.  The recommendation from this research is that there needs to be a revision of the legislation in the field of taxation and a clarification that golf can be subject to regional taxes. This research is expected to contribute to the thinking and practice related to the development of tax imposition on golf facilities.

Abstract

Political parties are crucial institutions in Indonesian democracy, but the absence of term limits for party chairpersons has the potential to create power domination, oligarchy, and weakening of internal party mechanisms. This study analyzes the urgency of limiting the term of office of political party chairmen and formulates ideal norms in the positive legal system in Indonesia. The results show that the absence of this regulation has triggered individual domination, such as prolonged leadership in PDIP and NasDem, barriers to regeneration, and misappropriation. Article 1 Paragraph (2) and Article 28E Paragraph (3) of the 1945 Constitution juridically become the constitutional basis, even though Law No. 2 Of 2011 on the Amendment to Law No. 2 Of 2008 on Political Parties does not explicitly regulate it. The author recommends: (1) revising the Article 23 Paragraph (1) of the Political Party Law to limit the term of office of the party chairman to a maximum of two terms and 5 years in office; (2) an independent supervision mechanism; (3) transparency of the succession process; and (4) the application of sanctions for violating parties. The implementation of this policy is expected to strengthen constitutional democracy, prevent oligarchy, and encourage the political participation of the younger generation. Cooperation between the government and civil society is needed to realize constitutional democracy in Indonesia.

Abstract

Character education is an important element in the effort to prepare superior Indonesian human resources, it is of particular concern to be applied especially among students, there is a need for character education because the attitudes and behavior of the people and people of Indonesia now tend to ignore the noble values of Pancasila which are highly respected and should be rooted in everyday attitudes and behaviors, values such as honesty, politeness, togetherness and religious, gradually eroded by foreign cultures that tend to be hedonistic, materialistic, and individualistic, so that the noble character values are ignored in the future if students and young people are not equipped with character education. Law students have their own challenges, especially in the era of globalization. This paper analyzes and illustrates the character strengthening program for law student activists in Semarang State University through several programs, namely public speaking, strengthening student idealism, strengthening advocacy capacitation and human rights assistance and self-motivation. This research is a field research with the object of research as activists of law students who are members of student organizations. This research confirms that the programs for strengthening the character of students experience several obstacles, one of which is the model used and a relatively short time. However, character education for student activists helps students to survive in real life as part of community members.

Abstract

The effectiveness of Indonesia’s State Administrative Courts is increasingly under scrutiny, particularly regarding the dismissal procedures that often lack transparency and accountability. This research explores the urgent need for reform in these procedures to foster greater public trust in the judicial system. In a country where citizens’ rights and access to justice are vital to democratic governance, the lack of clarity and fairness in dismissal decisions can undermine confidence in the court’s integrity. The novelty of this study lies in its focus on dismissal procedures as a critical yet often overlooked area of judicial reform. By examining current practices, legal frameworks, and case law, the research identifies key weaknesses in the system, proposing innovative reforms aimed at enhancing procedural transparency, consistency, and accountability. A comparative analysis with international best practices highlights practical solutions that could be adopted to improve the fairness and efficiency of dismissal processes. This research makes a significant contribution by offering a targeted framework for reform that prioritizes the protection of citizens’ rights, ensuring that judicial decisions, particularly dismissals, are made with clarity, fairness, and public scrutiny. It calls for systemic change to align administrative justice with democratic principles of openness and accountability.
