Trisakti and foundation to create law program
JAKARTA (JP): Trisakti University and Winaya Dharma
Foundation/Institute of Business Law Studies agreed yesterday to
cooperate to improve education in economic and international
business law.
The agreement was signed by the foundation's chairperson,
C.F.G. Sunaryati Hartono, and Trisakti University's rector, R.
Moedanton Moertedjo.
The signing formalized the creation of a certificate program
for students with an undergraduate degree in law who intend to
specialize in economics or international business law.
Established on Sept. 27, 1996 by Forum Indonesia-Nederland,
Winaya Dharma is devoted to legal research and education,
particularly on economic and international business law,
promoting intellectual exchanges with other legal bodies and
providing information, research opportunities and scholarships.
Former finance minister Radius Prawiro is chairman of Winaya
Dharma's advisory board.
The foundation set up the Institute of Business Law Studies
on Feb. 7, 1997, to offer a comprehensive program in economic and
international business law.
The institute offers 28 courses, divided into eight modules.
Those who complete at least six modules will receive a
certificate of proficiency in economic and international business
law. Trisakti University will provide logistical necessities for
the course.
The Foundation has obtained assistance and cooperation from
the University of Indonesia's school of law, Atma Jaya
University, Leiden University of the Netherlands, Centre for
International Legal Cooperation and the Economic Law and Improved
Procurement System Project of Jakarta.
"The program is partly intended to prepare Indonesian students
to deal with a broad range of corporate cases and international
legal issues, such as foreign arbitral awards, and working
professionally with foreign lawyers in Indonesia," Sunaryati
Hartono said.
The program's courses include maritime law, energy and mining
law, environmental law, computer and telecommunications law,
intellectual property law and insurance law.
Minister of Justice Oetojo Oesman has approved the program and
intends to work with the foundation to improve the judiciary's
education. (40)
