According to the Legal Anthropology approach, law is fundamentally rooted in society. This approach utilizes a model that focuses on micro-processes. A distinctive characteristic of Legal Anthropology is that various legal systems in diverse societies across the world are studied by focusing on micro-processes that empirically occur in people's lives. Therefore, a holistic method in examining legal pluralism in society is highly instrumental in explaining legal mechanisms, procedures, and institutions, as well as the operation of law and its relationship with political, economic, religious, social organization, and ideological aspects. This study discusses the role and benefits of legal anthropology in the development of Indonesian society. The role of legal anthropology in the national development of Indonesia is to explore existing norms and values within society. As the arena of Legal Anthropology focuses on human beings and legal culture, social rules that are not legal in nature are not the primary target of Legal Anthropology research. Keywords: Legal Anthropology, National Development, Indonesian Nation
