The paper presents the fundamental factors of expropriation (term, concept, history, law reasons, object, subjects) and the role of administration in the procedure of expropriation. From the aspect of whole procedure the author concludes that the state administration has a crucial role. Because of that in the law schools, expropriation in the largest volume would enter the scope of administration law.

This article argues that legal education is currently grappling with three narratives of technology’s role in either augmenting, disrupting or ending the current legal services environment. It identifies each of these narratives within features of curriculum design that respond to legal professional archetypes of how lawyers react to lawtech. In tracing how these influential narratives and associated archetypes feature in the law curriculum, the article maps the evolving intersection of lawtech, the legal profession and legal services delivery in legal education. It concludes by proffering the additional narrative of ‘adaptive professionalism’, which emphasises the complex and contextual nature of the legal profession, and therefore provides a more coherent direction for adaptation of the law curriculum. Through this more nuanced and grounded approach, it is suggested that law schools might equip law graduates to embrace technological developments while holding on to essential notions of ethical conduct, access to justice and the rule of law.

The existence of advocates as justice seekers at this time is very much needed and important in the life of the community and nation as well as increasing legal awareness and the complexity of legal problems in society. Advocacy is a profession that provides legal services to the public or its clients who face legal problems, both those related to criminal, civil and state affairs. Legal services provided by Advocates can be in the form of legal consultations, legal assistance, legal advice providers, exercising power, representing, assisting, defending, and performing other legal actions for and on behalf of clients. In providing these legal services, an Advocate can carry out it through a prodeo (Free of charge) or obtain an honorarium or payment for services from the client. In general, the position of an advocate is equal to that of other law enforcers such as the judges, prosecutors, and the police. : "Thus, advocates also play an important role in upholding and protecting the law for the community. The proper role of an advocate has been regulated in Law Number 18 of 2003 concerning "Advocates.

After outlining some strengths and failings of the law in Australia in meeting individual and community needs for legal services, the author explains why the recent over-supply of law graduates is unlikely to cure the shortfall in services. He proposes ten ‘commandments’ for Australian law schools, namely to:1. Assure a more diverse intake;2. Attend to vulnerable students, so that they survive their studies;3. Address particular subjects of poverty law;4. Encourage engagement by future lawyers with civil society;5. Promote involvement with all forms of legal aid;6. Acknowledge the importance of the law on costs;7. Enhance access to law through new technology;8. Establish miscarriage of justice and innocence clinics;9. Undertake reliable empirical research and law reform projects; and10. Consider basic lessons to be derived from foreign legal systems.Legal academics, he concludes, have a special duty to critique their discipline and to provide a sense of engagement among lawyers (starting with law students) with the values of the laws they help to implement.

The Law on the Conduct of Hajj Pilgrimage mandates the management of the Hajj pilgrimage is organized by the government. This management includes the coaching, service, and protection of the pilgrims from Indonesia, in Saudi Arabia, to returning to the homeland. This law also stipulates that the authority to conduct Hajj pilgrimage management is not only vested to the Ministry of Religious Affairs but also may involve the local government. This article aims to look at the role of local governments in providing service assistance and legal protection to the conduct of Hajj pilgrimage by means of regional regulations or bylaws. Using a normative approach, this article analyzes the extent to which the importance of bylaws in helping implement services for pilgrims. The results of this study confirm that there are 3 important arguments for why the local government must issue regional regulations to provide legal services and protection for pilgrims. First, philosophically, the pilgrimage journey does not depart from Jakarta only, but through the origin area which is still in the corridors of power of the local government. Second, sociologically, it is a form of the local government responsibility to the local people who perform the Hajj pilgrimage. Third, juridically, bylaws should regulate technical matters in order to provide optimal service in the conduct of the Hajj pilgrimage which is pursuant to the Law and regulations on Hajj pilgrimage in Indonesia.Keywords: legal protection, hajj pilgrims, regional regulation.AbstrakUndang-Undang penyelenggaraan ibadah haji mengamanatkan pengelolaan pelaksanaan ibadah haji yang meliputi pembinaan, pelayanan, dan perlindungan jamaah haji semenjak dari tanah air, di Arab Saudi, hingga kembali ke tanah air.

Artikel ini bertujuan untuk melihat peran pemerintah daerah dalam memberikan bantuan layanan dan perlindungan hukum melalui peraturan daerah. Dengan menggunakan pendekatan normatif, artikel ini menganalisis sejauh mana pentingnya peraturan daerah menjadi peraturan di tingkat daerah dalam membantu melaksanakan pelayanan terhadap jamaah haji. Hasil dari artikel ini menegaskan bahwa terdapat 3 argumen penting mengapa Pemerintah Daerah harus mengeluarkan peraturan daerah guna memberikan pelayanan dan perlindungan hukum bagi jamaah haji.

Kedua, Kedua, secara sosiologis sebagai bentuk tanggung jawab Pemerintah Daerah kepada masyarakat daerah yang menunaikan ibadah haji.

The main role of an advocate is to help clients get a fair legal process. This role gives birth to high expectations of advocates so that clients give full confidence to advocates to represent their interests. But in practice, it is not uncommon for advocates to abuse the trust given by their clients. As recorded in the 2019 PERADI annual report which shows that advocates reported by their clients to the PERADI Honorary Board are increasing. Avocados do have immunity rights as regulated in Article 16 of Law No. 18 of 2003 concerning Advocates jo. the decision of the Constitutional Court through decision No. 26 / PUU-XI / 2013. But of course, advocates cannot always protect their immune rights, especially if advocates violate the law and harm the interests of their clients. This study aims to analyze the legal responsibilities of lawyers who violate the law while carrying out their profession and are bound in a legal services contract. This research is normative legal research. The approach used in this research is the conceptual approach, the legislation approach, and the case approach. This research concludes that even though law violations were carried out by lawyers while carrying out their profession and based on a contract, advocates remain responsible, both civil and criminal. While the right to immunity can only be used as a basis for legal protection when advocates in good faith in defending the interests of their clients.

It is the primary task of Law Schools around the world to educate young promising adults who choose the responsible profession of a lawyer, be it in the role of an attorney, a lawyer in administrative services, in industry, or a judge. Apparently, in almost all countries, admission to these important professional roles is highly regulated, be it by law, be it by professional tradition or be it by a mixture of both of these factors. It generally requires a university degree and/or the successful passing of an examination administered by the State or a professional organization. For a law school, which feels any responsibility towards its students, legal education must first of all aim to equip them with the methodological, theoretical and practical knowledge, insights and basic skills necessary to fulfill the requirements for these degrees and exams, hoping at the same time that these requirements are those that enable the former students to properly, conscientiously and ethically perform their important roles in their respective national societies. Accordingly, the law of my home state requires that “the aim of legal education is the enlightened lawyer who thinks critically and acts rationally and is aware of his or her responsibility as a guardian of a free, democratic, social state, governed by the rule of law, and is able to recognize his or her obligation to further develop the law.”

Religion law – the law of the state on religion – has been taught for generations in the law schools of continental Europe, though its introduction in those of the United Kingdom is relatively recent. By way of contrast, within the Anglican Communion there is very little teaching about Anglican canon law. The Church of England does not itself formally train clergy or legal officers in the canon and ecclesiastical laws that they administer. There is no requirement that these be studied for clerical formation in theological colleges or in continuing ministerial education. The same applies to Anglicanism globally – though there are some notable exceptions in a small number of provinces. This is in stark contrast to other ecclesiastical traditions: the Catholic, Orthodox, Lutheran, Methodist, Reformed, Presbyterian, Baptist and United churches all provide training for ministry candidates in their own systems of church law, polity or order. However, no study to date has compared the approaches of these traditions to the teaching of church law today. This article seeks to stimulate an ecumenical debate as to the provision, purposes, practices and principles of the teaching of church law across the ecclesiastical traditions of global Christianity. It does so by presenting examples of courses offered (institutions, purposes, subjects, methods and levels), the educative role of church law itself, requirements under church law for church officers to study the subject, and parallels from the secular world in terms of debate in the academy and practice on the nature of legal education, particularly the role played in it by the Critical Legal Studies movement.1
