Abstract

Establishing legal clinic in a law school is one of the keys to create law school graduates to be come a professional jurist. To reach this purpose the legal education has to reform the teaching methodology, and its interdiciplianary approach. The option lies between creating a new externship program or modifying the course by adding practice knowledge. One of the obstacles that may arise is the limitation of the student to conduct an advocacy to defend their client’s rights in the court, since they have to represent their clients, as a party's authority to sue or be sued in a representative capacity. Indonesian legal profession faced the growing public distrust of the legal profession as the result of increasing perception of incompetency and corruption in legal profession. A program to restore the public trust of legal profession should be paved immediately, and Law School as an intitution that produces lawyers, has the responsibility to restrore it. In the context of controlling the professionalism of lawyers, Contionuing Legal Education is a program for legal profession having the capacity to promote social justice dimension of the practice of law and other professional values for lawyers
