Abstract

Access to legal aid for economically disadvantaged groups covers criminal, civil, and state administrative matters through both litigation and non-litigation mechanisms. However, the implementation of free legal assistance in Indonesia continues to face structural, administrative, and procedural barriers. This study identifies key obstacles, including the failure of investigators to guarantee suspects’ rights to free legal counsel as mandated by Article 56 of the Criminal Procedure Code, largely due to the absence of explicit juridical sanctions for non-compliance. Additional constraints include limited budget allocation, administrative difficulties in verifying indigency status, defendants’ reluctance to be represented by appointed counsel, the unavailability of legal aid posts (POSBAKUM) in several courts, low remuneration for legal advisors, and inconsistent attendance of appointed legal counsel during trial proceedings. Furthermore, defendants who cannot obtain certificates of indigency—particularly those detained or residing outside the court’s jurisdiction—face significant challenges in accessing legal aid, resulting in delays in fund disbursement. These findings underscore the need for policy reforms to strengthen institutional support, improve enforcement mechanisms, and ensure equal access to justice for the poor.

Abstract

Legal education constitutes a fundamental pillar in the formation of law enforcement in Indonesia, yet current legal practice often reflects a rigid, rule-bound orientation that fails to adequately serve societal needs. This gap between legal norms and social realities is rooted in educational processes that emphasize theoretical knowledge over experiential learning. Although law faculties offer doctrinal courses, judicial practice modules, and internship programs, these have not been sufficient in producing graduates able to apply the law in a socially responsive and justice-oriented manner. Clinical legal education through the development of campus legal aid institutions offers a strategic solution to bridge this gap. This study examines (1) the urgency of clinical legal education within Indonesian legal education, and (2) its implementation through strengthened legal aid facilities on campus. The findings show that clinical legal education is essential for equipping students with practical competencies, deepening their understanding of community legal issues, and fostering progressive legal reasoning. Effective implementation requires expanded student engagement in community-based legal services, a shift in lecturers’ pedagogical approaches toward practice-oriented instruction, and optimization of campus legal aid institutions as laboratories for real-world legal problem-solving. These measures are expected to produce graduates capable of advancing a humanistic and justice-centered model of law enforcement.

Abstract

In today’s global era, the internationalization of higher education has been defined as “the process of integrating an international, intercultural, and global dimension into the goals, teaching and learning, research, and service functions of a university or higher education system” (Knight, 2014). Within this framework, the internationalization of legal education refers to the application of these processes in law schools around the world. Several factors contribute to the growing need for internationalized legal education, including the increasing demand for transnational legal practice and the emergence of legal issues that extend across international boundaries. This article examines the internationalization of legal education in Indonesia by focusing on the international program offered by the Faculty of Law, Universitas Negeri Semarang. It analyzes the strengths and opportunities of the program, as well as its weaknesses and threats. Although the international program at Universitas Negeri Semarang may not fully represent similar programs at other Indonesian law faculties, it provides valuable insight into how a public university implements internationalization within legal education. The article begins with a discussion of theoretical perspectives on the internationalization of legal education. It then outlines the rationale for internationalizing legal programs and considers how such efforts should be implemented within the Indonesian context. Following this, the article presents a critical analysis of the international law program at Universitas Negeri Semarang, identifying key strengths and weaknesses. Finally, it offers recommendations aimed at improving the quality and effectiveness of international programs in Indonesian law faculties.

Abstract

The principle of legality is a fundamental doctrine in criminal law. At the time of its emergence, it served as an oasis amid widespread uncertainty, when the law was considered the property of the king. Individuals had no means of knowing whether their actions were lawful, as everything depended on the monarch’s subjective judgment. With the adoption of the legality principle, this absolute power was removed. The authority to determine guilt was transferred to the judiciary, and even judges were constrained to apply legal provisions strictly, without expansion or reduction. Whether an act constituted a crime became a matter defined explicitly by written law. Consequently, no conduct could be punished if it was not formally stipulated as a criminal offense. However, this principle also has significant limitations. Acts that are socially harmful but not codified—such as those rooted in customary norms—cannot be subjected to criminal sanctions. This represents a major weakness of the legality principle. When applied rigidly, another drawback may arise: individuals may be easily criminalized for merely fulfilling the elements of a written offense, even when, in sociological terms, their actions do not cause actual harm or legal injury, either materially or immaterially.

Abstract

The demand for qualified human resources in the legal field continues to increase in response to societal needs. To produce competent legal professionals, higher legal education must shift its educational orientation. It is no longer sufficient for law schools to equip students solely with technical skills for analyzing legislation; they must also provide knowledge that enables students to understand law and justice as fundamental human needs. Clinical Legal Education (CLE) serves as a learning model that fosters interactive and reflective learning, strengthens value-sensitive approaches to legal purposes, instills a commitment to public service and social justice, and establishes the foundation for responsible legal professionalism. Through CLE, students are encouraged to engage directly with the empirical dimensions of law. This approach enriches their legalistic–formalistic understanding by exposing them to social values and real-world legal issues faced by communities. In this regard, Clinical Legal Education holds significant relevance for legal education in Indonesia, as it prepares law graduates to become competent and socially responsive human resources in the legal sector.

Abstract

The legal education in Indonesia tends to produce graduates who believe in legal positivism. The principle of legal positivism runs as follows. Firstly, it encourages law enforcers to think and act in any legal formalistic way. Secondly, it places judges as the mouthpiece of the law; who cannot express to make decisions that satisfy a sense of social justice and substantive justice. How the ideal model of legal education is formed in order to create more progressive law enforcement. This article is based on the socio-juridical approach by underlying the analysis of the law and regulations which are related to the application of legal education in the community. The legal education is oriented to legal positivism that results in law enforcement with the understanding of law based on the abstract values, not on the values that live and thrive in society, so that the understanding of the law in a legal sense is more repressive, and not responsive. Law is understood as unfunctional and un-pragmatic things therefore understanding of law is the law that merely protects the elite group of citizens, in such a way that equality before the law and the rule of law don’t work. Legal education in the future should be based on the sociological aspects of prioritizing the principles of social justice and the benefits for the community, instead of legal certainty only. Legal education will produce a responsive law enforcement that put substantive fairness and social justice as a legal purpose.
