Abstract

This study aims to analyze the role of law in maintaining social justice in Indonesia through community training and empowerment as an effort to strengthen legal literacy and access to justice. Using qualitative methods with a descriptive-analytical approach, this study explores the experiences, perceptions, and practices of communities involved in legal training programs organized by local governments, non-governmental organizations, and local communities. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation, then analyzed using data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing techniques. The results show that legal training contributes significantly to increasing understanding of basic rights, increasing community courage in accessing legal services, and establishing community paralegals capable of assisting citizens in resolving simple legal issues. Multi-stakeholder collaboration and the use of technology have also expanded the reach of legal education to communities in various regions. However, structural barriers such as complex bureaucracy and limited facilities remain challenges in achieving equitable social justice. Overall, this study confirms that community training and empowerment are effective strategies for strengthening the function of law as a guardian of inclusive and sustainable social justice.

Review

The paper, "The Role Of Law In Maintaining Social Justice In Indonesia Through Community Training And Empowerment," tackles a critically important and highly relevant topic concerning legal access and social equity within the Indonesian context. The study's objective to analyze how law, through community training and empowerment, contributes to strengthening legal literacy and access to justice is both timely and commendable. Utilizing a qualitative methodology with a descriptive-analytical approach, the research gathers insights through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation from communities actively participating in legal training programs. This methodological framework is well-suited for exploring the complex experiences, perceptions, and practices of the target communities. The research yields compelling findings that significantly bolster the argument for community-led legal initiatives. It convincingly demonstrates that legal training programs are instrumental in enhancing citizens' understanding of their basic rights and fostering increased confidence in accessing legal services. A particularly noteworthy contribution is the successful establishment of community paralegals, providing a practical and decentralized mechanism for resolving simple legal issues. Furthermore, the abstract highlights the positive impact of multi-stakeholder collaboration and the strategic use of technology in broadening the reach of legal education, thereby affirming the efficacy of these strategies in promoting inclusive and sustainable social justice. While the study robustly advocates for community training, it also judiciously acknowledges persistent structural barriers, such as complex bureaucracy and limited facilities, which continue to impede the full realization of equitable social justice. Future research could productively expand upon these identified challenges, perhaps through specific policy recommendations derived from an in-depth analysis of these barriers or by exploring comparative case studies of successful mitigation strategies. Despite these acknowledged limitations, the paper offers valuable insights into the grassroots efforts for legal empowerment and effectively confirms that community training and empowerment represent a robust and essential strategy for upholding the function of law as a guardian of social justice in Indonesia.
