<![CDATA[Access to justice is a fundamental right guaranteed by the constitution and international legal instruments, but vulnerable groups in Indonesia such as the poor, people with disabilities, and victims of human rights violations often have difficulty obtaining legal assistance due to economic limitations and low understanding of the law. Pro bono legal aid provided free of charge by advocates or legal aid organizations is an important solution in bridging this gap. This article analyzes the role of pro bono legal assistance in improving access to justice through normative and empirical approaches, by examining Law No. 16/2011 and case studies of its implementation in various regions.

Therefore, strengthening incentives, institutions, and digitalization are strategic steps to create a more inclusive and equitable justice system.]]>
