Access to justice for underprivileged people in Indonesia depends on available and qualified legal aid providers. This study examines the relationship between sharia advocates and legal aid institutions of Islamic higher education (LBH PTAI) and proposes a normative framework for their collaboration toward social justice. It uses a normative juridical literature review of 21 scholarly sources, two accreditation data sources, and relevant legislation, appraised through a source matrix. Within this corpus, sharia advocates are positioned as qualified lawyers who provide litigation and supervision, whereas LBH PTAI serves as an institutional channel for recruitment, accreditation, non-litigation services, and student assistance. National data show that university-based legal aid organizations represent a small share of accredited providers and are mostly rated B and C, but these data do not measure service quality or reach. The proposed collaboration is a normative proposition that requires empirical testing through accessibility, case resolution, and recipient experience indicators.
