The Indonesian Journal of Socio-Legal Studies

This article presents the development of ethnographic research to understand the culture and performance of criminal justice actors (i.e. police, prosecutors, judges, probation officers). This article begins by outlining the lack of socio-legal research in Indonesian criminal justice research, which results in a scarcity of academic contributions to criminal justice reform. This article then provides an introduction to how the socio-legal approach influences criminal law research and how the ethnographic approach contributes to the study of criminal justice. Before the final section of this article, I discuss the challenges of conducting ethnographic research and suggestions based on my experience as …

In their current form, the Model Rules address conflicts of interest in Rule 1.7. However, both this rule and the Model Rules more generally are not one size fits …

For The Liberal Transformation Of Japanese Legal Culture: A Review Of The Recent Scholarship And Practice, Setsuo Miyazawa

Faculty Scholarship

In this paper, I wish to discuss two problems. Firstly, I wish to discuss what transformation of the Japanese legal culture is desirable.

Thus, Roman jurists as such were private individuals with no ties to government: they made law when their opinions came to win approval from other jurists.
