| description | Legal education in Indonesia was introduced in the Dutch colonial period.
During the early years of Indonesia’s independence, legal education was mostly
offered by public universities, and all public law schools were funded entirely by
the government of Indonesia. Consequently, the views and policies of these law
schools mostly paralleled the government of Indonesia’s policies and views. Later,
private institutions participated in providing legal education to Indonesian people
interested in studying law. Although private law schools played an important role as
an alternative for people who could not enter public law schools for many reasons
(e.g., age limit, racial and religious discrimination fears, and political views), they
received discriminatory treatment from the government before the 1990s. Prior to
the reform era, which began in 1998, the participation of these law schools in the
public sector was limited. Only a few alumni from these schools were chosen to hold
signifcant positions in the public sector. After 1998, the situation changed, and the
role of private law schools has become more signifcant in the country. This paper
will document the changes that have been made over time by private law schools
in an attempt to attain prominence in Indonesia. Additionally, this paper analyses
the role of Indonesian private law schools in society, especially after the reform era
started in 1998. |
