The Faculty of Law, Universitas Trisakti, through LKBH and LPKH, successfully held a seminar on the Draft Criminal Procedure Code (RKUHAP) with the theme “Examining the RKUHAP: Risks of Procedural Criminalization, Evaluation, and Prospects for Criminal Case Handling” on Wednesday, September 24, 2025, at the Prof. E.

The seminar was opened by Committee Chair Abiyyu, who highlighted the importance of this forum as a platform for academic collaboration to enrich students’ perspectives in understanding the dynamics of criminal law reform. The Dean of the Faculty of Law, Prof. Dr. Dra. Siti Nurbaiti, S.H., M.Hum., emphasized that the RKUHAP is a fundamental instrument of the criminal justice system, and therefore students must actively engage in critiquing and encouraging the realization of more substantive justice.

(Chairman of the Board of Trustees, LBH Hade Indonesia Raya), Nuri Andrian, S.H., M.Krim. (Legal Division, Polda Metro Jaya), and Dr. Hendrik Jehaman, S.H., M.H. (Advocate, DPC Peradi West Jakarta). The discussion was moderated by Zahra Nazira and attended by students, lecturers, and academics, creating an engaging and interactive atmosphere.

This seminar underscored the urgency of updating the KUHAP to align with legal developments, human rights, and the needs of justice in society. Through this initiative, Universitas Trisakti reaffirms its commitment to cultivating a generation of critical legal scholars capable of making meaningful contributions to the advancement of Indonesia’s legal system.

Happy 60th Anniversary, Universitas Trisakti!
