Legal Literacy- Explore the progressive view of law and its implementation in the Indonesian legal system. Learn the basic beliefs, values, and dimensions that form the foundation ofprogressive lawto achieve justice, humanity, and responsive development in society. If we look at the history, do we think that there is no change in the future? Is there a peak, a time when the world stops evolving and stops changing? Theprogressive viewof law is not in line with this view. Progressive law sees the relationship betweenlaw and nature as the Panta Rei that flowed from a philosopher named Heraklitos. If a person holds this view, then he has his own attitude and characteristics in law.First, there is a guideline in progressive law that becomes a paradigm, namely "Law for humans, not humans for the law," expressed by Satjipto Rahardjo. This view is a basic belief that does not assume that the law is a regulation that must be obeyed textually only, but must look at the human aspect that applies the law itself as the center of rotation in law, which means that humans are the center point of the rotation of the law. If someone holds this view, then that person will prioritize humanity in all aspects and law enforcement.Second, progressive law does not have a view on establishing the status quo in law. Using the status quo is like thinking that man is for the law. This view is in line with the legalistic, normative and positivist schools. If there is a law that formulates or says so, then people can only obey no matter what, unless the law is changed. Based on the description above, progressive law emphasizes law into the human aspects that complement each other in human social relations. Satjipto Rahardjo expressed progressive law as a spearhead in achieving maximum legal goals. Progressive law relies on legal interpretation that is based on human conscience by prioritizing justice and moral values in society. In addition, the law must be pro-justice, pro-people, in order to create a peaceful and prosperous society. Progressive law relies on law as a tool in creating a responsive life, prioritizing the formation of a legal state that is humane, conscientious, through spiritual intelligence as a medium that is liberating. There are several aspects that must be considered when discussing progressive law:
  1. The law activates the conscience of a rule of law,
  2. The law prioritizes the role and interests of the public,
  3. Law is responsive,
  4. The law prioritizes humanity that leads to a better life,
  5. Laws are always changing with the times,
  6. The law must be pro-justice and pro-people, therefore the law must develop by prioritizing the aspirations and needs of the community.
