Guest Lecture with Dr. Fatimah Yusro Hashim from Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia: “Inheritance Law in Malaysia”

The Undergraduate Study Program in Law, Faculty of Law, Universitas Islam Indonesia (UII), held a public lecture on Wednesday, April 30, 2025, at the Stage Room, west wing, Faculty of Law UII. This public lecture featured Dr. Fatimah Yusro Hashim from the Faculty of Law (FUU), National University of Malaysia (UKM), as the speaker. The lecture addressed the theme of Islamic Inheritance Law in Malaysia, with the specific title discussed being “Estate Management in Malaysia.” This mandatory event was attended by students of the Undergraduate Program in Law enrolled in the Islamic Inheritance Law course and was moderated by Dr. Umar Haris Sanjaya, S.H., M.H., the lecturer for the Islamic Inheritance Law course at the Faculty of Law UII.

In this public lecture, it was conveyed that “Islamic Inheritance Law has differences, possibly due to the influence of the common law system. However, fundamentally, the inheritance distribution for Muslims is almost the same as in Indonesia. This is because both Malaysia and Indonesia possess and adhere to Islamic law,” stated Dr. Fatimah Yusro Hashim.

The Head of the Undergraduate Program in Law, Faculty of Law, Universitas Islam Indonesia, Dodik Setiawan Nur H, S.H., M.H., LL.M., Ph.D., in his opening remarks, stated that, “This public lecture or guest lecture program is not the first, and it is an ongoing program, similar to previous semesters. This includes inviting [speakers] from the National University of Malaysia so that both international and regular program students have comprehensive preparedness and understanding, especially a comparative understanding of the inheritance systems in both Indonesia and its implementation in Malaysia.”

The Undergraduate Study Program in Law greatly hopes that students can develop, or perhaps gain insights and knowledge from Dr. Fatimah’s presentation, which can later serve as a basis for writing their final assignments. The event was attended by approximately 40 students and proceeded smoothly due to active interaction from the students. Before the event was closed by the moderator, a question-and-answer session was opened for the students, followed by a group photo session with the speaker and the moderator.

Associate Professor Emer Curtis, Associate Head of Internationalisation at the J.E. Cairnes School of Business and Economics and a member of the Academic Council at the University of Galway, led the delegation from the University of Galway. She was accompanied by Michael Noble, B.Sc., MBS, PgDip., representing the Irish Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

The visiting delegates were warmly received by Prof. Dr. Budi Agus Riswandi, S.H., M.Hum., Dean of FH UII, along with other faculty leaders. Among those present were Dr. Sri Hastuti Puspitasari, S.H., M.H., Vice Dean for Human Resources; Syarif Nurhidayat, S.H., M.H., Secretary of the Department of Law; Prof. Dr. Sefriani, S.H., M.Hum., Head of the Master Program in Law; Dodik Setiawan Nur Heriyanto, S.H., M.H., LL.M., Ph.D., Head of the Undergraduate Study Program in Law; Mukmin Zakie, S.H., M.Hum., Ph.D., Head of the Undergraduate Study Program in Business Law; Dr. Aroma Elmina Martha, S.H., M.H., Secretary of the International Undergraduate Study Program in Law; Frances Annmarie Duffy, LL.M., Grad Dip Ed, BA., CEL, foreign faculty lecturer at FH UII; and Rahadian Diffaul Barraq Suwartono, S.H., M.H., Lecturer in Constitutional Law in FH UII.

In his remarks, Prof. Dr. Budi Agus Riswandi emphasized that internationalization is a central pillar of FH UII’s academic development. “We are open to collaboration with top-tier universities around the world, including the University of Galway. The presence of an Irish lecturer among our permanent faculty serves as a valuable bridge for this prospective partnership,” he stated.

The meeting involved strategic discussions on various potential areas of collaboration, such as student exchange programs for both undergraduate (S1) and postgraduate (S2) levels, guest lectures, visiting professorships, and the development of joint degree initiatives.

Dodik Setiawan Nur Heriyanto, S.H., M.H., LL.M., Ph.D., Head of the Undergraduate Study Program in Law, noted that the program is actively expanding its international track and is seeking overseas partners to support students pursuing global academic experiences. “There are numerous collaborative opportunities that can be implemented between FH UII and the University of Galway. Our undergraduate program is highly receptive to student exchange initiatives, allowing both S1 and S2 students to study for one semester at the School of Law, University of Galway. Furthermore, the presence of visiting professors and guest lectures can serve as a medium to introduce the academic environment of the University of Galway to our students, especially at the undergraduate level. As we already operate an International Program, we are in need of international partners to support our students in pursuing global education and participating in Joint Degree Programs,” he explained.

In response, Associate Professor Emer Curtis welcomed the opportunity for collaboration and expressed readiness to begin preparing a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to formalize the cooperation. “We are open to initiating joint academic activities that engage students and faculty members from both institutions,” he said.

The discussion also explored the potential for collaboration at the doctoral level. Prof. Dr. Budi Agus Riswandi highlighted that FH UII is currently one of the few private law faculties in Indonesia receiving full scholarship support from LPDP (Lembaga Pengelola Dana Pendidikan) for its Doctoral Program in Law (PSHPD). “We see a promising opportunity for our doctoral students to undertake part of their studies at the University of Galway and graduate with a dual degree upon completion of their academic journey in both institutions,” he added.

The visit concluded with a networking session, token exchange, and group photo. FH UII hopes this collaboration will soon be realized through concrete programs that enhance academic quality and cultivate global partnerships. (Farchan Juliansyah)

On Saturday, December 14, 2024, the Undergraduate Study Program in Law Program at the Faculty of Law, Universitas Islam Indonesia (UII), held a meeting with parents/guardians of students from the 2018, 2019, and 2023 cohorts. This activity aimed to provide information and solutions regarding the study period of students at the Faculty of Law, UII, particularly for those in the 2018, 2019, and 2023 cohorts. The event, held online via Zoom Meeting, is a routine annual agenda to provide updated information regarding students’ studies to parents/guardians. This event was conducted in two sessions; the first session was a meeting with parents/guardians of the 2018 and 2019 cohorts, while the second session was with parents/guardians of the 2023 cohort. The activity, which began at 1:00 PM WIB, was not only attended by parents/guardians of students but also by students, lecturers, and education staff of the Faculty of Law, UII.

After the agenda was opened by the Master of Ceremony, the meeting continued with a speech by the Head of the Undergraduate Law Program, Dodik Setiawan Nur Heriyanto, S.H., M.H., LL.M., Ph.D., who stated, “We from the Undergraduate Law Program would like to extend our ties with all of you, especially the families of students from the 2018, 2019, and 2023 cohorts. On this occasion, we will conduct a study evaluation, particularly concerning the academic performance of your children. This is part of UII’s characteristics, where we continuously conduct evaluations so that you can understand the academic progress of your children. Remembering that your children are from the 2018 and 2019 cohorts, we need to announce that the maximum study period for the 2018 cohort is July 2025, while for the 2019 cohort, it is July 2026. For the 2018 cohort, please ensure and evaluate if there are still courses that need to be taken and the final thesis hasn’t been started. Given the limited time, we suggest transferring to a campus with a lower passing grade than UII, where your children can continue their studies and still have the opportunity to earn a bachelor’s degree. However, if the student has already completed the theoretical coursework and is currently working on the Final Thesis, we encourage them to continue and be supervised so that it can be completed before the set deadline. Additionally, we also hope that parents/guardians can increase their personal approach to their children so that students will be open about their study progress and other matters.” This was the speech from the Head of the Undergraduate Law Program, Faculty of Law, UII.

The event continued with an academic explanation presented by the Head of the Academic Division of the Faculty of Law, UII, Muhammad Arief Satejo Kinady, A.Md., who mentioned that “proper supervision is needed for students, especially those struggling academically. It’s necessary to provide assistance to students during their study period and to be aware of their academic status. Students can retake courses in the next semester if they fail to meet the required attendance and academic performance. Additionally, students also need to pay attention to the preparation of their final thesis and the importance of uploading their work to the provided information system. The role of parents is also needed in monitoring the academic performance of their sons and daughters so that they can report any problems to the Faculty of Law, UII.” This was the explanation from the Head of the Academic Division of the Faculty of Law, UII.

After the explanation was given by the academic representative of the Faculty of Law, UII, the event continued with a discussion and Q&A session with parents/guardians of the 2018, 2019, and 2023 cohorts. It is hoped that this activity can monitor study progress and establish intensive communication between parents/guardians and the study program. For students who are unable to complete their studies on time, it is recommended to immediately take alternative solutions, including transferring campuses. It is advised that the academic staff and students build more intensive communication.

Practitioner Sharing from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs: “Drafting and Negotiating International Treaties: Indonesia’s Role and Current Global Challenges”

On Thursday, December 12, 2024, the Undergraduate Study Program in Law, Faculty of Law, Universitas Islam Indonesia (UII) held a practitioner-sharing lecture on the subject, Law and International Relations. This activity was conducted online via Zoom Meeting, which started at 19.00–21.30 WIB and was mandatory for Class G Law and International Relations students. The practitioners invited to this lecture were alumni of the International Program, Faculty of Law UII, namely Anditya Hutama Putra, as the First Secretary, Young Diplomat Functional, Directorate of ASEAN External Cooperation, with the theme of discussion “Drafting and Negotiating International Treaties: Indonesia’s Role and Current Global Challenges.” This practitioner sharing lecture was moderated by Dodik Setiawan Nur Heriyanto, S.H., M.H., LL.M., Ph.D., as a lecturer in the Department of International Relations and also the Head of the Undergraduate Law Study Program, Faculty of Law UII.

In his presentation, the speaker explained that “an international agreement is an agreement that is legally enforceable between countries or sources of international organizations that have been regulated by international law. The types of agreements are bilateral and multilateral agreements. In making an international agreement, it cannot be made directly, but there are several processes that need to be carried out, such as making initial proposals and research, drafting, consulting, and negotiating, legal and technical reviews, adopting and signing, and ratifying and implementing. In the dynamics of negotiations, Indonesia also has a role in negotiating agreements; for example, Indonesia has an important role as the founder of ASEAN in drafting the ASEAN Charter and participating in mediation efforts in resolving disputes within the ASEAN framework. On the other hand, there are also global challenges in implementing the agreement, which are divided into 2 points, namely domestic challenges and international challenges. ” Before the event was closed, the agenda continued with a question and answer session, discussion of case studies, and ended with a group photo via Zoom Meeting guided by the moderator. This teaching practitioner lecture took place in three meetings, with details of two meetings being held face-to-face and one meeting being conducted by giving assignments.

Drafting and negotiating international treaties is a fairly complex diplomatic process because two or more countries negotiate with each other to reach a written agreement on various issues, ranging from investment and trade to cooperation in the fields of environment and security. So drafting and negotiating international treaties is an essential process for Indonesia to play an active role in overcoming global challenges. Therefore, by understanding Indonesia’s role and the challenges it faces, we can better appreciate the importance of diplomacy and international cooperation in building a better world.

Practitioner sharing from the Indonesian Ombudsman “Government Supervision in the Perspective of the Indonesian Ombudsman”

Undergraduate Study Program in Law, Faculty of Law, Universitas Islam Indonesia (UII) held a practitioner sharing program related to the course “Government Supervision Law.” With this practitioner teaching program, professionals or practitioners in the field of government supervision law can share their knowledge and experiences directly with students at the Faculty of Law UII. The resource person in this practitioner teaching program is Dr. Johanes Widijantoro, S.H., M.H., Ombudsman of the Republic of Indonesia. This practitioner teaching program is held from 15.20 to 17.00 WIB with three meetings; the first meeting took place on Thursday, November 21, 2024, and took place in the Mini Auditorium Room, 4th Floor, Faculty of Law UII.

Hasyim, S.H., M.Hum., as a permanent lecturer at the Department of State Administrative Law, Faculty of Law UII, and attended by students of the Faculty of Law UII, especially students of the Government Supervision Law B class.

The Ombudsman is a state institution that has a special task to oversee the implementation of public services. In other words, the Ombudsman is a “supervisor” who ensures that the services provided by the government, both central and regional, to the community run well and in accordance with applicable regulations. The Ombudsman is intended as a communication bridge between citizens and organizers. Widespread corruption, poor state administration, population explosion, and political instability are some of the reasons for the birth of the Ombudsman in several countries, including Indonesia. The duties of the Ombudsman itself are to receive reports, conduct investigations, and resolve problems so that the output of the work procedures of the Indonesian Ombudsman is to improve the quality of public services.

In his presentation, Dr. Johanes explained that “There are several factors that cause the Ombudsman to be able to develop in many countries, one of which is flexibility. This means that this ombudsman system is very flexible and can adapt to countries with different political and administrative backgrounds. Some of the legal bases for the Ombudsman in Indonesia are Law Number 37 of 2008 concerning the Indonesian Ombudsman and Law Number 25 of 2009 concerning Public Services. The reports that can be reported to the Ombudsman are allegations of maladministration in public service providers organized by state and government organizations, including those organized by state-owned enterprises, regional-owned enterprises, state-owned legal entities, as well as private bodies or corporations that are given the task of organizing public services. The Indonesian Ombudsman provides easy access to the public in submitting reports by opening on-the-spot complaint reception services at several points, such as at the Public Service Mall or visits to villages. So that in 2024 it was recorded that through this access the Indonesian Ombudsman had accommodated 7,436 public complaints.” Before the program was ended by the moderator, a question and answer session, discussion of case studies, group photos, and the handover of souvenirs were held at the second meeting.
