Optimizing Clinical Legal Education for Enhanced Alternative Dispute Resolution: A Collaborative Approach between Law Schools and the Indonesian Arbitration Institution (BANI)

This article aims to integrate ADR teaching directly into CLE method by involving dispute settlement institutions such as Indonesian Arbitration Center/Badan Arbitrase Nasional Indonesia (BANI) and Indonesian National Mediation Center/Pusat Mediasi Nasional (PMN). This is an important step because professions as arbitrator and mediator are extremely needed. Almost every contract incorporates an ADR clause to settle any disputes arising out of the contractual relationship. If CLE in ADR is to succeed in Indonesia, the mindset of the legal community must change. Promoting amicable settlement to disputes can no longer be done in class by traditional teaching method, but instead must involve professionals arbitrator and mediator, fully integrated and supported not only in the law school but also in the community.
