Law and Justice is one of  the umbrella topics of  the APRISH Conference held by Universitas Indonesia in November 2016. This academic undertaking is designed to provide a forum for researchers to disseminate and exchange their research findings and reports on this topic within and around Asia-Pacific countries.

It is well understood that there is a growing role of  the Asia-Pacific region in the world, in particular in terms of  global economy and politics. At this juncture, it is only natural that law plays a very significant role in the shaping and maybe transformation in each country, in the sub region and in the region itself. In addition, the number of  Asia-Pacific countries, the diversity of  countries and also the different historical background as well as their legal development and challenges provide a fertile avenue for critical analysis and research. It is the expectation of  Universitas Indonesia that this conference would serve as a forum to reflect upon important developments in the region in various areas of  law and justice.

It is important to note that in this book, the collection of  information and analysis on the existence,  clarity,  and  implementation  of   law  on  particular  issues  in  one  country  is  intended  to  provide  detailed  explanation  to  readers  in  conjunction  with  the  specific  issue  addressed.  It  is the intention of  the conference holder to facilitate a venue for interaction and interconnection among researchers, in particular to forge further collaboration in future legal research and publishing.
