Government Politics in Legal Aid for Poor Society

Abstract

The study of normative law on government law politics in providing legal aid to the poor results in the finding that the perspective of providing legal aid to the poor is based on the achievement of justice based on Pancasila in its position as the basis of the nation and the philosophy of the Indonesian nation. The balance dimension in the implementation of the balance between justice itself, legal certainty and the benefit for conflict resolution within the interaction between legal subjects. The meaning of the balance between justice and legal certainty and benefit is oriented towards the realization of this welfare understood as the needs of Indonesian society both spiritual or physical. In law enforcement the poor are marginalized and do not get the right to legal aid properly. Legal aid services are formalistic and do not address the needs of the bulk of the poor who need legal aid. For this, the legal politics of legal aid should be conditioned on the creation of an atmosphere of legal responsiveness. With the legal responsiveness of dealing with issues relating to the provision of legal aid to the poor is based on objective reality in society, without any political element attached to it. This makes poor people's assistance poorly targeted and does not meet the sense of community justice as the most important goal of providing legal aid to the poor.
