The Nature of The Role of State Attorney Prosecutors in Legal Assistance in The Civil and State Administrative Fields

Abstract

This research aims to comprehensively examine the role of the State Attorney in providing legal assistance within Civil and State Administration, assess its effectiveness in resolving legal disputes, and identify key factors influencing its efficacy. Adopting a theoretical framework that integrates normative legal research and sociological legal research, the study analyzes laws governing the State Attorney's functions while evaluating how these are perceived and applied in practice. Through a descriptive approach utilizing mixed methods, including the study of legal documents, interviews with State Attorneys, and field observations, the research reveals that while the State Attorney plays a crucial role in representing the legal interests of various entities, including the state, government, BUMN/BUMD, and the community, its ability to effectively resolve legal disputes in Civil and State Administration settings is hindered by complexities in legal frameworks, limitations in human resources and infrastructure, varying levels of public legal awareness, and the prevailing legal culture. This study's findings offer practical and theoretical insights that can guide enhancements in legal assistance practices and policy development within the field.
