Peran dan Kewenangan Pemerintah Daerah Provinsi Jambi menurut Undang-Undang tentang Bantuan Hukum

Abstract

The law Number 16 of 2011 regarding legal aid aims to ensure acces to justice and equality before the law for the poor in accordance with the constitutional Mandate. However, the the implementation of the Legal Aid law at the regional level is still largely limited to provision of legal services rather than law enforcement. This has resulted in doubts about the roles and authorities of the centran and  regional goverments in the implementation dan budgeting of legal aid.The provisions regulated by the legal Aid law still pose complexities in their application, as the central goverment encourgaes an active role in the provision of legal aid, while the local goverment is only given the option to implement it with any obligation. This involvement has led to issues such a the limited scope of beneficiaries and the unclear roles and authorities of local goverment in the provison of legal aid at the regional level.Therefore, using a normative research method based on legal resources and previous studies, this research discusses the roleh and authorities of the regionalgoverment based on the legal aid Law in Indonesia
