Abstract

Abstract: One of the goals to be achieved by activities in the law clinic and providing knowledge, expertise, and understanding of the values of social justice to students is also aimed at empowering the community. The aim of empowering the community is to foster legal awareness and knowledge of the community’s legal rights. This is especially important for people who do not have access to justice. This article is intended to provide an overview of legal education that combines the role of legal clinics in empowering communities. This study indicates that legal clinics in legal education in Indonesia are directly involving students in dealing with society. The issue of social justice becomes the basis for the law faculty to develop clinical activities.
