UNAIR NEWS聽鈥 It is nothing new for Faculty of Law (FH) students to have internships during holidays.聽Internships is one of the activities that are considered interesting, especially by students in the fifth semester.
Although it is not required, a lot of FH students are interested in spending their holidays by gaining knowledge in various institutions such as the Business Competition Supervisory Commission (KPPU), the District Attorney’s Office (Kejari), the Ministry of Law and Human Rights (Kemenkumham).
Vivik Saraswati, for example.聽One of the 2016 class FH students shared her experience during an internship at Kemenkumham.
“Internships is common here (FH, ed).聽Initially, I knew from my senior level and coincidentally, one of the International Law Students Association (ILSA) Semi Autonomous Bodies (BSO) had an internship program at Kemenkumham because I am interested, so I follow it, ” she said.
“Although I am not a member of ILSA, I may register.聽There are also other friends who collectively submit to other agencies.聽So, it really depends on the students, ” she added.
Usually an internship is conducted for three weeks to one month.聽Regarding the papers needed during the internship, according to Vivik, the required documents are quite easy.聽Students only need to submit an application for an internship that has been provided by the faculty, a聽photocopy of study card (KHS), and a student ID card (KTM).
“I learned a lot from analyzing current cases.聽And, sometimes attend meetings in offices that discuss provincial or district / city regional regulations (perda), circulars, and appeals that are considered discriminatory against women, children, or disabilities.聽So, there is substantial and administrative learning there, “Vivik explained about the experience gained during the internship.
Vivik added, at that time there were so many, almost more than four hundred discriminatory regulations.聽In addition, she studied the analysis of cases of drug inmates sentenced to death filed for clemency.聽However, when the clemency has not given, the person concerned died.
“This (case of clemency, ed) is something new to me,” she said.
In addition, Vivik and other students attended a public discussion held by Ministry of Religious Affairs on religious moderation, intolerance, and聽hate speech听.
“There was also a public discussion held by ELSAM NGO which is discussed by law politics of RAN HAM.聽“There was also one of the FH lecturers, apparently,” she said.聽(*)
