Legal rules and law enforcement in Indonesia are heavily influenced by the legal system inherited from the Dutch colonial era. Many of the colonial regulations are still in effect today, even though they are no longer appropriate to the conditions of Indonesian society. The aim of writing this article is to analyze the contribution of progressive law to legal reasoning in Indonesia. This article was written using a type of normative research with a conceptual approach. The results of this research are that Dutch inherited law, which is based on positivist thinking, is often rigid and procedural. So there is less attention to aspects of substantive justice. It is hoped that the presence of progressive law will be able to reconstruct legislative regulations in Indonesia so that they realize substantive justice and not just procedural justice.
