Juridically, there is no clear and firm regulation related to the understanding and qualifications of malpractice advocates in Indonesia (there is a legal vacuum), but theoretically there have been many concepts and doctrines relating to legal malpractice, especially advocacy malpractice. In a sociological perspective, there have been many cases of advocacy malpractice that have emerged in the implementation of advocate practices in Indonesia. Meanwhile, in the perspective of legal philosophy, advocates as a noble legal profession (officium nobile) have no fair and certain formula for handling and settlement, both for clients who receive bad service from advocates and for advocates themselves as law enforcement officers. Based on the juridical, sociological, theoretical and philosophical reasons above, it is considered important to discuss the qualifications of an act including the malpractice of the Advocate profession and the forms of accountability of the advocate profession for advocacy malpractice cases. Therefore, this research uses normative legal research. Based on the results of the discussion, this study has the conclusion that the qualifications or parameters of the malpractice act of an advocate, if it meets the following requirements: (1) The existence of legal services provided by an advocate (rights and obligations); (2) Legal services are provided in: (a) below the applicable professional standards; (b) awarded in violation of the "fiduciary" obligation of the advocate; (c) defaults on contracts for providing legal services, or; (d) provided in a manner contrary to applicable law and code of conduct; (3) The advocate's actions take the form of acts against the law (intentional or negligence); (4) There are losses to the client; and (5) The loss is caused by the act of providing legal services by the advocate. There are three forms of advocacy accountability, namely ethical responsibility, juridical responsibility and disciplinary responsibility.

This research is an empirical legal research. The approach to the problem used is the sociology of law approach. Based on the results of the study, the parked vehicles are not properly organized due to the lack of parking arrangements that occur in the tourist area of ​​Ubud. The application of sanctions against the prohibition of illegal parking in the tourist area of ​​Ubud is carried out, starting from giving warnings for breaking tires, towing the transportation of violating vehicles to tickets. Thus, law enforcement officers should be more assertive in effectively implementing the prohibition on illegal parking on the shoulder of the Ubud road area. The road user community should be pro-active towards the applicable regulations. People who obey the rules should not only be there when there are traffic officers, but also obey the rules when there is no guard.

Children are the next generation of the nation, the existence of children is very important because the child is a potential fate of the nation as well as a mirror attitude of life of the nation in the future. A child who is a superior seed and has the widest hope to prepare for his future as a milestone of success of a nation in the future should not fall in the world of evil. It is unfortunate that children at an early age have been involved in criminal offenses and past their youth behind bars, increasingly contaminated with other inmates. This research was empirical legal research, that is the research on the provisions of the legislation in the national law concerning restorative approach in the imposition of action sanctions against children in conflict with law in order to keep children away from imprisonment and negative stigma in society . Addressing the issue of a child in conflict with the law should be done in a familial approach and avoiding children from prison as much as possible. The sanction of action for the child contained in Article 82 of Law Number 11 of 2012 on Criminal Justice System for Children expected to prevent the child from the negative stigma in society and keep the children from bad effects of prison. Thus the current restorative model of punishment is more applicable in handling child offenders. It is expected that law enforcement officers to pay attention to the provisions of the rules that apply to children in conflict with the law in terms of imposition of more sanctions toward education and character development of children so that the threat of imprisonment becomes the last alternative in imposing sanctions for children

Law No. 18 of 2003 concerning Advocates emphasizes the status of Advocates as one of the law enforcers who have roles and functions that are equal to the Police, Prosecutor's Office and Judicial Power as law enforcement officers, but there is specialness given by the law to lawyers, namely the independence of advocates in carrying out their duties and profession. The independence of advocates aims to support the implementation of a justice system that is free from power and political intervention in law enforcement, and with that independence the Advocate Profession is said to be a very noble profession (offiicium nobile). As a noble profession, of course, advocates are bound by ethical values ​​that become the guidelines in the implementation of their duties and authorities, where those values ​​are posited as a Professional Code of Ethics.

Courts throughout the United States have ruled that that the “awesome powers” entrusted to law enforcement officers, and the safety-sensitive nature of their positions, impose on their public employers a responsibility to ensure that they are fit to perform their duties. But, as with an officer's powers, the authority of a police employer to mandate a psychological fitness-for-duty evaluation (FFDE) is not without boundaries. This chapter addresses the legal authority of a police employer to require an FFDE, the limits to that authority, and the implications of these constraints both for police employers and the psychologists who conduct these evaluations on their behalf. Written by two prominent experts in police employment law and police psychology, this chapter concerns itself with both the law and professional standards of practice. Key topics include the legal threshold for requiring an FFDE, limitations to the content of an FFDE report, and evaluator qualifications.

The Lethality Assessment Program (LAP) aims to empower law enforcement officers to screen victims of domestic violence for potential lethality and connect them to service providers. This research surveyed domestic violence victims seeking legal services ( n = 141) to assess whether LAP receipt is associated with greater rates of self-protective measures, service use, or empowerment, and to examine victims’ perspectives on the LAP process. Findings indicate no relationship between receipt of the LAP and use of self-protective measures or victim empowerment, mixed evidence between receipt of the LAP and service utilization, and room for improvement regarding how law enforcement officers explain the LAP to victims. Implications are discussed.

ABSTRACTThis research will be reviewed by the legal facts of the act of sinking illegal fishing vessels conducted by law enforcement officers or fisheries investigators in the Indonesian Fisheries Waters. The sinking of ships was carried out given the increasingly widespread theft of fish by foreign ships. An interesting legal issue to explore is about the sinking of illegal fishing vessels in a review of Indonesia's legal perspective. The purpose of this study is to analyse the sinking of ships related to the crime of illegal fishing before a court decision has permanent legal force, whether it is following applicable law. The next objective is to analyse the legal consequences of the ship sinking in the practice of enforcing illegal fishing criminal acts before a court decision has permanent legal force. This research is legal research with normative legal research type so that the analysis method used is a qualitative study that is built based on legal arguments to answer the problematic issues of this research law. The results showed that the act of sinking illegal fishing vessels in Indonesian fisheries waters by law enforcement officers or Indonesian fisheries investigators, normatively dogmatically, was following the provisions of Indonesian national law, which had been informed in Article 69 Paragraph 4 of Law Number 45 the Year 2009 regarding Fisheries, has also been by the provisions of international law, as regulated in Article 73 of UNCLOS 1982. Furthermore, the legal consequences of the sinking of illegal fishing vessels before the existence of a court decision have permanent legal force, normatively, has juridical implications on three things, namely: First, after the sinking of illegal fishing vessels became the basis for law enforcement officers or fisheries investigators to conduct further investigations within the formal criminal law enforcement framework; Second, the sinking of the ship has a legal effect on the status of the ship that sunk into status as evidence of the proceeds of crime or criminal acts that can be confiscated; Third, the sinking of the illegal fishing vessel has legal implications on the offender who can be subject to the status of a suspect and can even be raised to the status of a defendant of an illegal fishing crime. The author recommends that the Indonesian government through the foreign ministry should make diplomatic efforts to the international community to urge the United Nations to make illegal fishing a transnational crime. The procedure of permanent sinking of illegal fishing vessels, should not only be limited to the regulations of the Director-General of Fisheries but by the Indonesian government in the form of special legislation. Kata Kunci: Penenggelaman Kapal, Illegal Fishing, dan Penegakan Hukum
