THE IMPLEMENTATION OF LEGAL AID MODEL FOR MARGINAL COMMUNITY IN SURABAYA CITY BASED ON JUSTICE

The implementation of providing legal aid for marginalized community in Surabaya city has not been
maximized. It is felt only by a small number of people or poor people and have not touched all levels
of marginal society who are facing the legal problem and needing the free legal assistance. The
purpose of this study was to determine the implementation of a model of providing legal aid to
marginalized community in Surabaya in order to get an equal legal aid. This socio legal research used
the research and development approach in the community who got the soft loan beneficiaries nurtured
by the Women's Social division of the Ummul Mu'minin Mosque in Surabaya. The result showed that
the model of providing legal assistance for personal legal networks (jalepo) was a suitable model of
providing legal assistance since it can be applied effectivly to anyone who did not have an affidavit of
inability (SKTM) and at the same time facing the civil and criminal law and state administration
problem to get an equal justice. Based on the fact that the implementation of Local Regulation
Number 3 of 2019 concerning legal aid for the poor issued by Surabaya City Government in providing
legal assistance that has been far from the reality and still has some deficiencies so that the
recommendations are needed to evaluate and revise this regulation in terms of the criteria of the
subject, object and procedure in providing legal aid.
