(30/11/2023) | The Independent Campus Competition Program (PKKM) Lecture Series entitled “Legal Innovation in the Digital World: The Role of Legal Technopreneurship in Supporting Corruption Prevention” was completed last Thursday (9/11/2023). The guest lecturer in Room 206 Building A FH UNAIR invited Dadang Trisasongko, S.H., as Secretary General of Transparency International Indonesia 2013 – 2020 and Kemenkopolhukam Legal Reform Acceleration Team member.

Dadang explained three essential things in techno-legalpreneurship: technology, law, and entrepreneurship. He refers to information technology, digitalization, the Internet of Things, artificial intelligence, and machine learning. According to him, to realize legal-technopreneurship, it is necessary to utilize all types of technology.

“Meanwhile, the law includes expanding access and improving procedures and the substance of legal services, which aims to increase the effectiveness and efficiency of legal services. “Then, entrepreneurship includes the ability to read market opportunities, develop products, and market services innovatively,” explained Dadang.

Dadang also introduced an Integrated Information Technology-Based Criminal Case Handling System (SPPT-TI). SPPT-TI is an online digital platform connected to all law enforcement agencies and coordinated by the Coordinating Ministry for Political, Legal, and Security Affairs.

“The SPPT-TI system was launched in early 2019 to strengthen coordination, accountability, and transparency in handling criminal cases,” said Dadang.

Apart from the SPPT-TI system, Dadang explained other platforms, such as Korupedia, SAKTI, Anti-Corruption Academy, and opentender.net. Korupedia is an online digital platform for public education, court supervision, and strengthening public participation in preventing corruption. SAKTI and the Anti-Corruption Academy are online and offline anti-corruption education platforms developed by Indonesia Corruption Watch to increase knowledge, skills, and commitment to eradicating corruption, targeting lay participants, professionals, private employees, government employees, and academics. Meanwhile, opentender.net is an online database for government procurement of goods and services developed by Indonesia Corruption Watch to encourage transparency in the procurement process for goods and services and track the risk of corruption in the procurement process and during the implementation of government projects.

“The challenge today is that public institutions are still weak in fulfilling their legal obligations to comply with the Law on Openness of Public Information. Much data and information that should be accessible to the public is kept secret. Apart from that, cooperation and coordination between state institutions are also not optimal. Many legal professionals are not fully aware of the important role of information technology in supporting their profession. “On the other hand, the costs of developing digital platforms are still expensive,” explained Dadang.

In response to these challenges, Dadang advised campuses to take a more active role in encouraging the openness of public information in the legal sector and developing digitalization studies related to the legal profession. He also emphasized the importance of literacy regarding using information technology to support legal work.
