Bandarlampung \u2014 Indonesia\u2019s Justice Minister Supratman Andi Agtas\nstated that Lampung Province has become one of the regions to\ncomprehensively establish legal assistance posts (Posbankum) down to\nvillage and subdistrict level.<\/p>\n
\u201cToday Lampung Province has formally established 2,651 Posbankum.\nThis is an important step to ensure that access to justice can be felt\nby all members of society, particularly those who have previously\nstruggled to obtain legal services,\u201d he said in Bandarlampung on\nMonday.<\/p>\n
He explained that the presence of Posbankum represents part of the\ncentral government\u2019s programme to expand access to legal assistance for\nthe public, especially vulnerable groups with limited education or\nfinancial means.<\/p>\n
According to him, legal access gaps have persisted because legal\nservices have been more easily accessible to people with adequate\nfinancial capacity or education.<\/p>\n
\u201cJustice has often been enjoyed only by those with superior capital\nor education. Therefore, the state must ensure that ordinary people also\nreceive equal access to legal services,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Taufiqurrakhman, head of the regional office of the Justice Ministry\nin Lampung Province, explained that the establishment of Posbankum in\nLampung has reached 100 per cent of all villages and subdistricts.<\/p>\n
\u201cA total of 2,651 legal assistance posts in villages and subdistricts\nhave been established. Additionally, 5,302 paralegals are ready to\nprovide legal services to the community,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
He added that in 2025 the government has also conducted paralegal\ntraining involving approximately 3,800 participants to strengthen the\ncapacity of legal assistance services at village level.<\/p>\n
Various legal cases in the community have been successfully resolved\nthrough mediation mechanisms by Posbankum without having to go through\ncourt proceedings. These include the resolution of domestic conflict in\nNatar Village, South Lampung, and a land dispute between heirs in\nRejomulyo Subdistrict, Metro City.<\/p>\n
In addition to the inauguration of Posbankum, the event also saw the\npresentation of commendation certificates to 15 regencies and cities in\nLampung Province for their support in establishing Posbankum.<\/p>\n
The Justice Minister also awarded the Lampung Governor recognition\nfor successfully establishing 2,651 Posbankum across all villages and\nsubdistricts.<\/p>\n
With Posbankum present in villages and subdistricts, the government\nhopes that various legal issues can be resolved more quickly through\nmediation and legal consultation, whilst simultaneously increasing legal\nawareness among the community in Lampung Province.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/lampung-establishes-legal-assistance-posts-down-to-village-level-1773071598", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
