Abstract

Counseling to strengthen community capacity through court decision examinations is a strategic tool for communities to understand and fight for their rights. Negeri Amahai, as one of the Traditional Villages in Maluku, requires legal capacity strengthening, particularly in understanding and following up on court decisions related to the rights of the local community. This community service activity aims to strengthen the capacity of Negeri Amahai residents through legal counseling based on decision examinations, so that the community is able to read, assess, and understand the legal implications of a decision critically. The methods used include preparation, implementation, and evaluation (interactive lectures). The results of the activity show an increase in community understanding of legal rights and obligations, as well as the ability to interpret decisions more accurately. This activity also fosters legal awareness and the courage to fight for their rights legally. Thus, counseling based on decision examinations is an effective approach in building a legally aware community and strengthening access to justice.

Abstract

Low levels of legal awareness are often caused by a lack of public involvement in the processes of law-making and law enforcement. This study analyses the impact of meaningful participation on the development of legal awareness and conceptualises meaningful participation as a means of fostering legal awareness. It employs a normative legal methodology, utilising both conceptual and statutory approaches. The findings indicate that the concept of meaningful participation in fostering legal awareness can transform technical compliance into the internalisation of values and voluntary compliance with the law, build a participatory and responsive culture of legal compliance, and integrate the enhancement of legal awareness with the practice of deliberative democracy, thereby fostering a sense of ownership of the law. Furthermore, realising “meaningful participation” as an instrument for fostering legal awareness can be achieved through; the provision of access to adequate information, public legal education within inclusive consultative forums, the consistent use of digital technology coupled with accountable evaluation mechanisms, and cross-sectoral collaboration to enhance responsive legal awareness.   Keywords: Meaningful Participation, Instrument, Legal Awareness.
