Legal opinion contains analysis, argumentation and legal recommendations on a problem that occurs in the community. People often ask for legal opinions from people who are experts in the field of law such as academics, advocates, legal consultants, and other legal professions. It is not uncommon for people to ask for legal opinions from students/law graduates who are considered capable and become experts in their fields. Recognizing the phenomenon as described above, the Law Faculty bachelor’s degree program at the Law Faculty of Batam International University organizes training for students especially those who are writing thesis in order to prepare competent law graduates.
Training on Legal Opinion Writing was held for 2 (two) days, namely on February 8-9, 2020. Although the training schedule is coinciding with holidays, it does not dampen the enthusiasm of students to participate as participants. There were 95 students enrolled, consisting of not only students of undergraduate programs but also students of postgraduate programs to deepen their understanding.
The training was divided into 4 sessions in which the material are delivered in more detail by lecturers of the Law Department who had backgrounds as academicians as well as practitioners.
On Saturday, February 8, 2020, Dr. Lu Sudirman SH., MM., M.Hum as the Dean of Law Department opened the event as well as delivering material related to the introduction of legal opinion preparation. It is followed by the next session on material about the Process, Methods, Basic Framework, Use and Object of Legal Opinion by Lendrawati SH., MH. Sessions one and two have a focus on the theoretical level.
Meanwhile on Sunday, February 9, 2020, the exposure went deeper into the level of practices where the activity began with the material about the search of legal documents by Dr.F.Yudhi Priyo Amboro and closed by the material about Technical and Strategy Analysis and Legal Opinion (Legal Opinion) by Alfis Setyawan SH., MH.
In the series of the activities, besides exposure to the material, it was also accompanied by question and answer session and interactive discussion as well as a pre-test at the beginning of the activity and post-test in each material and the end of the activity.
