Sosialisasi Hukum Kepada Masyarakat Berbasis Lembaga Bantuan Hukum
Abstract
Legal socialization is a strategic effort to increase legal awareness in the community, especially among vulnerable and disadvantaged communities. Legal Aid Institutions (LBH) play an important role in this process by providing free legal education and assistance in dealing with legal problems. This study aims to analyze the role of LBH in conducting legal socialization, the methods used, and the challenges faced. This research method is qualitative descriptive with case studies in several LBHs in Indonesia. The results of the study show that LBH plays an active role through counseling, legal training, and community-based advocacy. However, limited resources and minimal community participation are the main challenges. Support from the government and increased capacity of LBH are needed to expand the reach of legal socialization in the community.
