Example text
It is unfortunate to see, however, that the core of the country’s legal education curriculum has not fundamentally changed since the colonial period. The same holds for the way law is taught in today’s Indonesia in the more than 200 law schools. In his very critical analysis of current Indonesian legal education, the former law dean of the country’s prestigious University of Indonesia, Professor Juwana Hikmahanto,30 explains that any progress is hindered by a range of factors, such as the old-fashioned way new faculty are recruited, seriously outdated textbooks, poorly prepared professors, and a lack of societal and political willingness to really improve Indonesian legal education.

Thomas Ekman Jorgensen, CODOC – Cooperation on Doctoral Education between Africa, Asia, Latin America and Europe, 2012, p. 7. ), Stakeholders in the Law School, Oxford and Portland, OR: Hart Publishing 2010, p. 124. 34 law schools: some preliminary sketches The influence of the different colonial powers on their respective colonies in Africa on the level of tertiary education should not be underestimated. This influence is visible not only in the forms and styles of management, but also in the structure and traditions of the various universities, and perhaps more so with regard to the content of their law courses.
Moreover, the socio-economic and political circumstances in which legal study and research have to be conducted are very different, varying from the small law school in an African country to generously endowed elite schools in the US, Australia, Canada and the UK, to the legal education institutions on an industrial scale in many of the European and Latin American countries. Yet I live in hope that these differences are addressed in a meaningful manner in this book, and I beg the reader’s pardon for some unavoidable Dutch–European centredness.
