LEGAL CERTAINTY TOWARD ADVOCATE PROFESSIONAL SPECIAL EDUCATION IN INDONESIA

Abstract

The Advocate Law regulates several stages of requirements to become an advocate. One of
them is by following a special education for the advocate profession. However, recently,
dualism which in principle is recognized as an institution having the authority to provide
advocacy education has occurred. The dualism of the institution is the Minister of Research
and Technology, and an advocate organization. In this study, a qualitative approach in a
normative juridical perspective was applied. Through the normative legal study method with
a juridical approach and using secondary legal materials, these problems are answered so as
to provide general knowledge to readers and especially to practitioners. Based on the results
of the research, it can be concluded that based on the provisions of advocates and the
Constitutional Court decisions related to Advocate Professional Special Education have been
actively carried out by advocacy organizations in collaboration with universities.
