UIN Sunan Kalijaga Yogyakarta has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Indonesian Advocates Association (Perhimpunan Advokat Indonesia/PERADI) Profesional, together with 111 other Islamic Higher Education Institutions (PTKIs). The event was facilitated by the Directorate General of Islamic Education (Pendis) of the Ministry of Religious Affairs, in collaboration with Universitas Indonesia (UI) and PERADI Profesional, at the Hotel Borobudur Jakarta on 8–9 July 2026.

Representing the Rector of UIN Sunan Kalijaga, Prof. Dr. Abdur Rozaki, M.Si., in his capacity as Vice Rector for Student Affairs and Cooperation, affirmed that this cooperation with PERADI Profesional aims to strengthen the quality of legal education, facilitate the Special Advocate Professional Education (Pendidikan Khusus Profesi Advokat/PKPA), and build a justice ecosystem. It is also directed toward building a legal education ecosystem that integrates the academic world, professional organizations, and government through the concept of the triple helix.

UIN Sunan Kalijaga has long been committed to continuously developing academic quality assurance and the relevance of ongoing legal education in the country. The university possesses strong foundations for this, demonstrated, among other things, by the achievement of students from the Faculty of Sharia and Law of UIN Sunan Kalijaga Yogyakarta in successfully winning a case before the Constitutional Court that led to the removal of the presidential threshold provision requiring 20% of parliamentary seats or 25% of the national vote for presidential and vice-presidential candidacy nominations. The university's alumni include an active Supreme Court Justice at the Supreme Court of the Republic of Indonesia, Dr. H. Imron Rosyadi, S.H., M.H.

“Indonesia needs legal justice through the presence of law enforcers who uphold the principles of morality, integrity, ethics, and character. Indonesia as a rule-of-law state has a solid foundation,” said Prof. Dr. Abdur Rozaki, M.Si., who attended the meeting in person.

In addition to the MoU signing, the event continued with a National Symposium under the theme “Membangun Ekosistem Keadilan: Integrasi Penegakan Hukum, Profesi Advokat dan Perguruan Tinggi” (Building a Justice Ecosystem: The Integration of Law Enforcement, the Advocate Profession, and Higher Education). Speakers at the symposium included Prof. Dr. Jimly Assidhiqie, S.H., M.H.; Dr. Wahidul Adam, S.H., M.H.; Prof. Dr. Harris Arthur, S.H., M.H.; and Prof. Dr. Heri Hermansyah. (humassk)
