Abstract

The phenomenon of low legal awareness remains a common characteristic of society in Indonesia, particularly in the province of West Kalimantan. This demonstrates the need for new innovations in legal education methods that are relevant to the current digital era. This study aims to conceptualize a web-based legal education model through the development of the SAHABAT (Sobat Hukum Kalimantan Barat) application as a responsive and inclusive digital medium to improve public legal literacy. The research method used a socio-legal approach with a qualitative descriptive method, involving literature studies, in-depth interviews, and field observations on the need for access to legal information. The data used in this study was primary data obtained directly from legal educators at the West Kalimantan Provincial Office of the Ministry of Law and Human Rights. The results of the study show that the community needs an outreach platform that is easily accessible, interactive, and contextual to legal issues. The SAHABAT application is designed to provide popular legal information, online consultations, and topic-based legal education through interactive features. This study confirms that digitizing legal counseling through platforms such as SAHABAT can be a means of helping to increase legal awareness and community participation in realizing a responsive legal culture. This study recommends the integration of the SAHABAT application into the national legal counseling strategy as part of the digital transformation of public services in the legal field.

Abstract

This paper investigates the role of Pancasila-based legal education through the Street Law model in advocating for social transformation and fostering nationalism among youth in Kenteng Village. As Indonesia strives to strengthen its national identity, particularly among younger generations, integrating Pancasila— the nation’s foundational ideology— into legal education becomes essential. The study outlines a community-driven program that engages university students and local youth in interactive legal workshops, promoting awareness of rights, responsibilities, and civic engagement rooted in Pancasila values. Through participatory methods, the program encourages youth to actively engage in discussions about legal issues and national identity, thereby enhancing their understanding of Indonesian democracy and governance. The findings reveal that this approach not only cultivates a sense of nationalism among participants but also empowers them to become advocates for their communities. Participants reported increased confidence in navigating legal matters and a stronger commitment to civic involvement. This research highlights the importance of advocacy in legal education as a catalyst for social change, demonstrating that the Street Law model can effectively bridge the gap between academic knowledge and practical application in the community. Ultimately, the paper argues for broader implementation of Pancasila-based legal education programs across Indonesia, suggesting that such initiatives can play a vital role in nurturing a generation of informed and engaged citizens dedicated to the ideals of Pancasila.

Abstract

The protection of geographical indications (GIs) and trademarks represents a crucial instrument within intellectual property law, serving not only as a mechanism of legal protection but also as a means of economic empowerment, particularly for micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs). Nevertheless, the effectiveness of such protection is often constrained by limited access to legal services and advocacy. This study aims to analyze the ideal legal framework for the protection of GIs and trademarks in Indonesia, the Philippines, and Oman, emphasizing the importance of integrating legal services and advocacy to strengthen MSME empowerment. The research employs a normative juridical approach combined with comparative analysis, examining statutory provisions, institutional practices, and the legal cultures of each country. The findings reveal that the Philippines has developed a relatively ideal framework through the active role of the Intellectual Property Office of the Philippines (IPOPHL), which implements the IP Academy, Innovation and Technology Support Offices (ITSO), and the affirmative Juana Make a Mark initiative. By contrast, Indonesia and Oman continue to face challenges, as their regulatory structures remain heavily focused on administrative procedures without explicit provisions on legal advocacy. This study contributes by highlighting the necessity of embedding legal advocacy within substantive regulations and institutionalizing MSME support programs as a state obligation. It concludes that the protection of GIs and trademarks will be more effective if supported by structured and sustainable legal advocacy mechanisms. The key recommendation is for Indonesia and Oman to adopt the Philippines’ best practices, particularly the integration of advocacy and legal services into formal regulations, thereby strengthening MSME empowerment through the protection of geographical indications and trademarks.

Abstract

Indonesia’s post-conflict regions, such as Aceh, Poso, and Papua, continue to confront the legacies of violence, trauma, and contested historical narratives. In these areas, history education holds significant potential for promoting reconciliation and preventing the recurrence of conflict. This study examines the role of history teachers in integrating peace education within the broader frameworks of legal strategies and advocacy in Indonesian post-conflict settings. Drawing on qualitative research, including in-depth interviews with educators, civil society actors, and local government representatives, the paper explores how history teachers navigate sensitive political and historical issues in classrooms marked by ethnic, religious, and ideological divisions. The study highlights how legal frameworks such as human rights education, truth-seeking efforts, and transitional justice initiatives—though limited in formal policy—are informally adopted by educators through civil society-led training and community advocacy. Findings suggest that when adequately supported, history teachers in Indonesia can act as frontline peacebuilders, helping students develop critical thinking, historical empathy, and a commitment to nonviolence. Moreover, advocacy networks play a crucial role in enabling educators to address topics such as mass violence, displacement, and state-perpetrated injustice in ways that foster healing rather than deepen polarization. By contextualizing peace education within Indonesia’s unique socio-political landscape, this paper contributes to the global discourse on post-conflict education and provides practical pathways for integrating historical accountability into curriculum and teacher training programs.

Abstract

The Indonesian Government is trying to overcome the threat of a food crisis, one of which is through a food estate program. This study was conducted to answer the political-economic and legal perspectives of food estate development in Kalimantan. Researchers collected data by visiting three food estate locations in the Gunung Mas, Pulang Pisau, and Kapuas Regencies. In the field, researchers conducted observations, in-depth interviews, and focus-group discussions with many informants. After the data were collected, researchers conducted multidisciplinary analyses and studies. The results of this study showed that the Government's plan to increase food production through food estates in Central Kalimantan was not achieved. The Government's economic and political goals violate applicable laws. In this context, the law follows the wishes of political actors and economic interests. Food estates positively impact infrastructure development at food estate locations, especially in the Kapuas and Pulang Pisau Regencies. This has a positive impact on the economy. However, residents did not feel these benefits at the food estate location in the Gunung Mas Regency. The development of a food estate in Gunung Mas violates the law. Land clearing by cutting down trees in a 600-hectare forest can violate the Forestry and Forest Protection Laws. To avoid any legal violations, a breakthrough is needed in the form of a Government Regulation in place of Law (Peraturan Pemerintah Pengganti Undang-Undang/ PERPUU). This program cannot be implemented without a legal framework, such as a law that regulates the entire process from upstream to downstream. Therefore, food estates are being developed throughout rural areas in Indonesia.

Abstract

The transfer of land rights is a classic problem, but the legal basis that validates its validity remains ambiguous to date.  Although Government Regulation Number 24 of 1997 concerning Land Registration emphasizes that the transfer of land rights is executed using a PPAT deed, judges sometimes have varying legal considerations when deciding the issue of the validity of the transfer of land rights. The validation of these considerations is sometimes also based on the Burgerlijk Wetboek, or sometimes based on Customary/Adat Law. Based on the Morality-Positivism theory, this article will explore how judges should decide a case that falls into the category of "hard cases" regarding the issue of the transfer of land rights in Indonesia, including the legal sources that are used as references. The research method in this article is the normative legal research method. Based on the Dworkin’s theory (law as integrity) and seeing positive law still with moral judgment in it (moral-positivism), judges in deciding cases can use discretion in deciding hard cases. However, in a theoretical context, judges do not have absolute discretion or absolute freedom (independence) in deciding cases. The freedom of judges is within the limits of a circle, which Ronald Dworkin called the metaphor of the hole in the doughnut. Therefore, the judge's decision must not be separated from the spirit and principles of the Basic Agrarian Law. With the Morality of Law, judges cannot decide cases with policy (inclusive positivist), but can only base their decisions on the principles to maintain coherence

Abstract

This paper explores the role of legal strategies and advocacy in shaping higher education institutions into world-class research and education hubs, with a comparative focus on Universitas Negeri Semarang (UNNES) in Indonesia, Dhofar University in Oman, and the University of Sharjah in the United Arab Emirates. Central to this analysis is the development of Centers of Excellence (CoEs) as catalysts for academic innovation, international collaboration, and institutional prestige. The study investigates how legal frameworks—ranging from national laws to internal university policies—facilitate or hinder the strategic growth of CoEs in each context. It highlights how legal advocacy can drive policy reform, secure essential resources, safeguard intellectual property, and promote academic freedom and international accreditation. By examining case studies from the three institutions, the paper underscores the importance of legal professionals not only as compliance officers but as key actors in institutional transformation. Ultimately, the research demonstrates that a robust, forward-thinking legal strategy is essential to advancing the global aspirations of universities in emerging knowledge economies.
