publishing could  be a bridge to connect between countries. So that, the  foreign publishing

supposed not only to publish the foreign books, but also to translate Indonesian law books

to English.

Legal Event of The Year 2008, Wednesday (3/12),in Jakarta.

possibility, as information, law could be understood by the people who came from non-law

discipline. As example, there were alot legislations came into cyber world so it could be

known and controled by anyone, whether he came from the law discipline or not. “Next, law

academicians can compete with non-law academician. Even the people from vocational school

can also understand the law and compete with the law academicians who dont understand

technology," Jimly explained.
