Guest Lecture by Prof. Raúl Gabriel Sánchez Gómez (Pablo de Olavide University, Spain)

On Thursday, September 25, 2025, a guest lecture was held featuring Prof. Raúl Gabriel Sánchez Gómez from Pablo de Olavide University, Spain. This guest lecture was attended by approximately 75 students from the International Program of the Faculty of Law, Universitas Islam Indonesia (UII). The theme of this guest lecture was “The Procedural Law and The Legal Clinics: An Experience from Spain.”

During the public lecture, Prof. Raúl presented material related to Civil Procedural Law in Spain and the development of legal clinics, particularly their evolution in the European Union. The event, held in the Audiovisual Room on the 4th floor of the Faculty of Law, was moderated by Rizky Ramadhan Baried, S.H., M.H., a lecturer at the Faculty of Law, UII.

In this public lecture, Prof. Raúl stated, “Legal clinics in the European Union are developing very rapidly, considering the many land-related issues, including in Spain. Thus, there is a great need for support and academic discussions at our university, Pablo de Olavide University, Spain. Currently, we also offer specializations in legal clinics for undergraduate (S1), master’s (S2), and doctoral (S3) programs.” Prof. Raúl conveyed this while delivering the lecture at the Faculty of Law, UII.

As the moderator, Mr. Rizky also mentioned, “Currently, the Faculty of Law, UII, has a Center for Legal Aid and Consultation (PKBH) as a platform for legal clinics at the Faculty of Law, UII, which is the oldest and one of the most active faculties of law with an extraordinary role. These legal clinics have developed rapidly after many communities entrusted PKBH UII to provide legal assistance and consultation. Currently, a new building is also under construction, and we are not only building facilities but also developing activities that can support law enforcement in Indonesia. We hope that with the presence of Prof. Raúl, we can gain comparative knowledge.” Mr. Rizky concluded his remarks.

In his closing remarks, Dodik Setiawan Nur H., S.H., M.H., LL.M., Ph.D., as the Head of the Undergraduate Study Program in Law, stated, “We highly appreciate this guest lecture, which even features an expert from Spain sharing knowledge related to legal clinics. And we hope that this knowledge can be further developed, not only for PKBH but also for the entire academic community. This event is one of our internationalization activities, enabling students to build comparative legal knowledge.”

The event then concluded with a question-and-answer session and a souvenir handover. Simultaneously, Prof. Raúl also visited the UII Museum and conducted a campus tour of the Faculty of Law, UII.

Indonesian Association of Law Journal (APJHI) Holds Integrity Pact Ceremony at the Faculty of Law, Universitas Islam Indonesia

On September 16, 2025, the Faculty of Law, Universitas Islam Indonesia (UII), hosted the Ratification of the Code of Ethics and Signing of the Integrity Pact organized by the Indonesian Association of Law Journal (APJHI). The event was held in the 2nd-floor meeting room of the Faculty and attended by representatives from law journal managers across Indonesia—from the western, central, and eastern regions of the country.

In his opening remarks, Dr. Kukuh Tejo Murti, S.H., LL.M., Chairman of APJHI, expressed hope that this event would contribute significantly to maintaining and enhancing the quality of law journal publications in Indonesia. “This Integrity Pact is a vital milestone, particularly as many Indonesian law journals have already obtained national accreditation (SINTA) and even international indexation (Scopus or Web of Science). Through today’s signing, we aim to strengthen the scholarly foundation of Indonesian legal publications and elevate their credibility globally,” he said.

The ceremony began with speeches from the Chairman of APJHI and the Dean of the Faculty of Law UII. It served as a follow-up to the outcomes of the APJHI Annual Meeting previously held at Universitas Pasundan, Bandung, in June 2025, where the draft Code of Ethics was deliberated collectively to establish a shared commitment to quality improvement in legal journal publications.

In his remarks, Prof. Dr. Budi Agus Riswandi, S.H., M.Hum., Dean of the Faculty of Law UII, emphasized the faculty’s dedication to academic integrity: “We strongly support this Code of Ethics and Integrity Pact as mechanisms to uphold the credibility of Indonesian law journals. At UII, integrity is one of our core values, especially as journal managers now face increasing challenges and ethical dilemmas. This collective commitment is essential to ensure that Indonesian legal publications serve as global academic references in the field of law.”

Meanwhile, Dr. Saru Arifin, S.H., LL.M., Ph.D., a member of the APJHI Executive Committee, also stressed the importance of preserving academic integrity in Indonesian higher education institutions: “UII was chosen as the host for this ceremony because of its strong track record in upholding academic ethics. APJHI has established a dedicated Division of Publication Ethics, particularly as more Indonesian law journals are indexed by Scopus. However, we are also aware of negative international perceptions about some journals. If left unchecked, this could lead to the erosion of academic integrity and damage the reputation of Indonesian legal scholars. Our aim must go beyond indexation; it must focus on elevating academic standards and scholarly recognition on the global stage.”

The event was also attended by prominent figures in legal academia and journal management, including:

  • Bambang Sutiyoso, S.H., M.Hum. (Head of Department, FH UII)
  • Ni’matul Huda, S.H., M.Hum. (Professor of Constitutional Law, FH UII)
  • Dodik Setiawan Nur Heriyanto, Ph.D. (Head of Undergraduate Law Program, FH UII & Editor-in-Chief of Prophetic Law Review)
  • Dhiana Puspitasari, S.H., LL.M., Ph.D. (Professor at Universitas Brawijaya & APJHI Board Member)
  • Fajri Matahati Muhammadin, S.H., LL.M., Ph.D. (Legal Academic & Journal Manager at Universitas Gadjah Mada)
  • Nindry Sulistya Widiastiani, S.H., M.H. (FH Atma Jaya Yogyakarta)
  • Setyo Utomo, S.H., M.Hum. (FH Universitas Panca Bhakti)
  • Jufryanto Puluhulawa, S.H., M.H. (Universitas Negeri Gorontalo)
  • Saru Arifin, S.H., LL.M., Ph.D. (FH Universitas Negeri Semarang)

In addition, representatives from Hukum Online and several media outlets were present to the event.

Prof. Dhiana Puspitasari, serving as a Senior Advisor to APJHI, concluded with an insightful reflection: “I strongly support this initiative. Our early goal was to promote the internationalization of Indonesian legal scholarship by encouraging local authors to publish in domestic journals, rather than spending excessively to publish abroad. Over time, however, we’ve encountered new challenges. This Code of Ethics is essential to restore balance and ensure that while we pursue global indexation, we remain committed to academic excellence and integrity.”

Faculty of Law Universitas Islam Indonesia Holds Study Skills Event: Equipping New Students to Be Successful Learners

The Faculty of Law at Universitas Islam Indonesia (UII) successfully organized a “Study Skill” event for new students of the 2025/2026 academic year. Held on Saturday, September 13, 2025, in the Auditorium on the 4th Floor of the UII Faculty of Law Building, the event was attended by approximately 1000 new undergraduate students. This mandatory event provided a comprehensive explanation of the academic system, which is crucial for students’ future success in graduation.

The event commenced with an opening address by the Dean of the Faculty of Law, Prof. Dr. Budi Agus Riswandi, S.H., M.Hum. He emphasized the significant difference between learning processes in high school and university, particularly concerning self-reliance. “Learning at the Faculty of Law UII should not be limited to classroom settings; it can also be interpreted as learning outside the classroom. Therefore, if you don’t attend class, it doesn’t mean you’re not learning, but rather that you must continue learning,” Prof. Budi stated, highlighting the importance of exploring knowledge beyond formal lectures.

The event proceeded with the first material session, delivered by RR. Indah Ria Sulistya Rini, S.Psi. MA., Psychologist, on the theme “Becoming a Successful Student in All Roles.” She elaborated, “Being a university student is different from being in high school because once you’re in college, decisions are entirely in your own hands. Parents’ involvement is minimal; in fact, what you become depends on each of you. New students commonly experience feelings related to enthusiasm, anxiety, uncertainty, joy, loss, loneliness, stress, and even confusion. However, attention must be paid to risky behaviors such as drug abuse, free sex, aggression, and alcohol consumption,” she cautioned, reminding participants to be aware of potential risks.

The session continued with “Library Literacy,” presented by Mr. Teguh Prasetyo Utomo, S.IP. He stressed the vital importance of information literacy in the modern era and the role of libraries as primary resources for supporting learning and research through access to in-depth literature and adequate facilities. “It is crucial in this era that we possess information literacy skills—namely, the ability to reason and think critically to select, sort, and then utilize information for our various needs. As students, why should we go to the library? This is because libraries offer various services to support learning and research activities, in addition to providing access to current research and in-depth literature from quality information resources, as well as comfortable study spaces with adequate facilities.”

Following the material sessions in the Auditorium, the agenda continued in the classrooms of the UII Faculty of Law building with introductory sessions for Academic Advisors (DPA) and DPA Assistants, as well as a presentation on “Tips for Becoming a Successful Learner.” In these classroom sessions, students also received explanations regarding the academic system, including the crucial requirement of a minimum 75% class attendance to be eligible for the Final Semester Examination (UAS). Each new student also received a material kit, which included a soft copy of the academic guidebook, class schedules, the academic calendar (soft copy), information on academic advisors, and university regulations concerning student discipline at UII. The entire series of Study Skill events concluded successfully at 02.30 PM WIB.

In addition to these exploratory talks, the UII delegation participated in the prestigious annual meeting organized by the International Association of Law Schools (IALS).

During the discussions, the UII Faculty of Law shared its plan to begin drafting a formal cooperation agreement, with a particular focus on establishing a student exchange program. The initiative aims to provide UII students with opportunities to study or participate in short-term exchange programs at Chulalongkorn University’s Faculty of Law.

“This is in line with our ongoing internationalization efforts. When successful, such cross-border student exchanges typically lead to further initiatives, including faculty exchanges, collaborative research, and joint teaching programs,” added Dodik Setiawan Nur Heriyanto, Ph.D., on the sidelines of the IALS meeting.

It is worth noting that the Faculty of Law, Chulalongkorn University was first established in 1933 as part of the Faculty of Law and Political Science and became an independent faculty in 1972. It is a part of Chulalongkorn University, Thailand’s oldest and most prestigious university, founded in 1917. Chulalongkorn University consistently ranks first in Thailand in academic reputation and graduate employability and is regularly listed among the world’s top universities in the QS World University Rankings.

Head of Undergraduate Law UII Speaks at the IALS Annual Meeting in Bangkok

On 8–10 September 2025, the International Association of Law Schools (IALS) Annual Meeting was held at the Faculty of Law, Chulalongkorn University, Bangkok, Thailand. IALS is an association of law schools from around the world, currently comprising approximately 170 of the world’s leading law schools.

In this year’s annual meeting, Dodik Setiawan Nur Heriyanto, PhD, was invited as a speaker in a session discussing “Updating the Legal Curriculum: What Issues Should Be Addressed and How Do They Fit into the Traditional Curriculum.”

Other panelists included Christopher Mbazira (Coordinator of the Public Interest Clinic, Makerere University School of Law, Uganda), Pavana Kiranmai Chepuri (Head of Strategic Initiatives and Growth, Woxsen University School of Law, India), and Thomas McInerney (Loyola University Chicago School of Law, United States). The session was moderated by Catherine Kelly, Head of Law at the University of Bristol, UK.

In his presentation, Dodik emphasized that undergraduate law curricula in Indonesia must place strong emphasis on instilling anti-corruption values. He explained that since many graduates pursue careers as prosecutors, judges, police officers, and civil investigators, it is essential to ensure they embody integrity, given the prevalence of corruption cases involving law enforcement officials. He stressed the importance of attitude-based and skill-based assessments to ensure students demonstrate integrity and anti-corruption values in class.

Dodik also highlighted the need for innovative teaching methods: “Lecturers should not rely solely on knowledge-based education through lectures. Models such as case discussions, project-based learning, and interactive activities allow lecturers to observe students’ attitudes and skills directly. This approach helps lecturers identify students who may still lack integrity, for instance, those engaging in absenteeism, truancy, or cheating during exams.”

Beyond his presentation on anti-corruption education, Dodik also shared his experience of nearly eight years managing a law program accredited as “Excellent” by BAN-PT and internationally accredited by FIBAA (Germany). He noted: “Our program has produced distinguished legal scholars of integrity such as Artidjo Alkostar, Busyro Muqoddas, Suparman Marzuki, and Mahfud MD. This achievement reflects our implementation of Outcome-Based Education (OBE), which enables lecturers and the program to measure student competencies effectively in class, supported by adequate facilities and a culture of academic freedom—even to the point where students can freely protest against lecturers or faculty leadership.”

The Dean of the Faculty of Law, Universitas Islam Indonesia (UII), Prof. Dr. Budi Agus Riswandi, SH, MHum, praised Dodik’s participation as a speaker: “Our involvement in this forum goes beyond being passive participants. It is an opportunity to actively present our faculty’s ongoing initiatives while gaining international recognition for our achievements. The Faculty of Law at UII continues to pursue its mission of internationalization through innovation and active participation in global academic forums.”

The IALS Annual Meeting was attended by around 80 participants, many of whom were deans or vice deans of law schools representing all five continents. The event was formally opened by Professor Pareena Srivanit, Dean of the Faculty of Law at Chulalongkorn University; Professor Laura Wen-yu Young, Secretary General of IALS (University of California, Berkeley, USA); and Professor Gabriel Bocksang-Hola, President of IALS. The three-day event featured plenary discussions, breakout sessions on strategic issues in legal education, and networking opportunities among law schools worldwide.
