Advocates Should Not Continue To Be Blamed
Nasrullah reiterated that the position of advocate as an equal law enforcer in the judicial system is not the party that can be unilaterally blamed when there are allegations of bribery practices.
"Advocates are often used as scapegoats in bribery cases in court. In fact, the problem is far more complex, concerning institutional integrity, the justice system, to ethical enforcement," he explained.
He also appealed to polemics about the number of advocate organizations not to continue to be debated, and to encourage the improvement of the professional quality of advocates.
Poems And Appreciation Of Legal Figures
The event was also enlivened by the reading of a poem entitled Pacul and Martil by the Secretary General of the Central PWI Wina Armada, which also distributed his work books to KAI administrators as a form of appreciation for the struggle of advocates.
As part of a series of commemorations of the 17th Anniversary, KAI will hold a national seminar and FGD (Focus Group Discussion) which raises the theme of the struggle of Indonesian legal figures in building a justice system with integrity.
