Abstract

Law graduates play a critical role in shaping the legal system and ensuring justice. To provide them with the necessary knowledge and skills, it is essential to have proper educational resources, especially qualitative law textbooks. This article evaluates the need for qualitative law textbooks for proper education of law graduates in law schools by taking Bangladesh as a case study and critically assesses the impact of the lack of quality textbooks on law students. The study shows that qualitative law textbooks are essential for students to develop a comprehensive understanding of the legal system, its principles, and the interpretation of laws. Lack of quality textbooks has a detrimental impact on law students in Bangladesh, hindering their research and academic progress and affecting the quality of legal education. This article argues that it is imperative to ensure the availability of qualitative law textbooks to provide the necessary educational resources for law students in Bangladesh. The study highlights the significance of qualitative law textbooks in legal education and calls for necessary measures to address the issue of insufficient textbook quality to improve legal education in Bangladesh.

Abstract

In Indonesia, the rules governing that can bring a legal case to the Constitutional Court often unclear and unevenly applied. This creates challenges for individuals and communities trying to protect their constitutional rights. In this article, we take a critical look at these obstacles by examining the Court’s past decisions. We show how the current legal framework overlooks issues of collective harm and structural inequalities, particularly affecting marginalized groups. To better understand these issues, we compare Indonesia’s approach to those of India, South Africa, and the United States, seeking out more inclusive models of judicial decision-making. Our findings show that Indonesia’s focus on specific interpretations of direct and personal harm limits the judiciary’s ability to meet its constitutional responsibilities. The paper draws on insights from other countries as well as Indonesia’s own legal traditions, such as adat (customary law) and musyawarah (deliberation), to propose a more inclusive and culturally sensitive approach to legal standing. We recommend several specific reforms, including rethinking existing laws, creating clearer judicial guidelines, and providing targeted judicial training for judges to improve access to constitutional justice for everyone.
