The Faculty of Law, Universitas Muhammadiyah Sumatera Utara held a general lecture with the Indonesian Ombudsman Mokhammad Najih, SH, M. Hum, P.Hd. Participated by 370 registered students in the Legal and Moot Court Clinical Classes 2017 and 2018 at the UMSU Auditorium – Jl. Kapten Muchtar Basri No.3 – Kota Medan, Thursday (27/1).
This public lecture is a series of awareness programs for law students participating in the Clinical Law and Motu Courts. The Rector of UMSU, in his remarks, was very grateful and appreciated the members of the Faculty of Law who had organized this activity. He hopes the public lecture can provide knowledge for law students who will carry out legal clinical and moot courts.
“It is certainly a blessing for us to be able to hold activities together face to face. Hopefully, it can be a provision for all of you to take the knowledge conveyed by Mr. Mokhammad Najih, Chairman of the Ombudsman. In between his busy schedule, he has been in Medan for two days and yesterday also witnessed the signing of the MoU between the Faculty of Political and Social Sciences UMSU and the North Sumatran Ombudsman,” said the UMSU Rector.
In the presentation session, the Chairman of the Indonesian Ombudsman, Mokhammad Najih, introduced how to supervise servants in a world-class bureaucracy. According to him, this topic is critical to convey because, as a nation, Indonesia has faced extraordinary challenges, especially entering the era of society 5.0.
He explained that Indonesia has been in a Vucad situation (Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, and Ambiguity) which is a community atmosphere or situation that is unstable from time to time due to natural phenomena of missed opportunities and opportunities, causing economic movement to weaken. So there is an international inequality gap. Therefore, the uncertainty that is influenced by the weak economy has an impact of uncertainty on employment.
“Law scholars will face new challenges that the locus is no longer real. And in clinical studies, you need to study telematics law and cyber law,” said Mokhammad. He hopes that UMSU students can increase their studies and learn about telematics law concerning the world of the internet, telecommunications, and information because there are still many law faculties that do not have telematics courses.
Mokhammad also illustrates that, in fact, the Indonesian constitution has established a welfare state whose priority is public services and the serving bureaucracy. Therefore, if the implementation of supervision is carried out effectively and reliably, it will reduce corruption.
“There must be a good relationship between the use of technology and improving the quality of the UMSU Faculty of Law. I believe UMSU can prepare human resources for the future in facing challenges,” he said.
The head of the Ombudsman advised students not to stop learning or be satisfied with what happened today. Must continue to learn and study and be a human being who wants to learn and learn something that is being faced. In the future, he hopes that the law study program will make changes, namely, changing the learning system with 60% case studies and 40% studying theory.
Also present were the Rector of UMSU Prof. Dr. Agussani, MAP, Muhammadiyah Regional Dean Prof. Dr. Ibrahim Gultom, M.Pd, Chairman of the Indonesian Ombudsman Mokhammad Najih, SH, M.Hum, P.Hd, Dean of Faculty of Law UMSU Dr. Faisal, SH, M.Hum along with the deputy Dean, Heads of Sections and Lecturers in the UMSU Faculty of Law and Faculty of Humanities Students.
