Prof. Jawahir srutinized the character of corrupt law where the Indonesian National Law was set to be far from “justice” and dominated by political supremacy. From the smallest item, there are many Indonesian leader become word-corruptor. For instance, they use acronym when mentioned something, such as Soetta ( Soekarno-Hatta), Curanmor (pencurian sepeda motor) and Upal ( Uang palsu). Prof. Thontowi assumed that this crime was difficult to be identified. By using acronym, it would eliminate the context of criminal offense. “In International Law, the use of acronym in jurisprudence can rise a threat because it can eliminate the legal certainty,” said Prof. Jawahir. Prof. Jawahir who is also the Director of Center for Local Law Development Studies (CLDS) of Law Faculty also mentioned that many of corruption scandal emerged in Indonesia. “The corruption scandal in Indonesia , for instance in the case of ‘Deputy Governor Election 2004, the constructing of the Bank Indonesia (BI) regulation law 2008, and others. Moreover, BI was allegedly involved in case of money transferring to the House of Representative (DPR),’” he explained. According to Prof. Jawahir, the President of Indonesia, Susilo Bambang Yudoyono (SBY), as the executor of the Constitutionl of the Republic Indonesia (UUD 1945) was trapped in coalition partner political bondage which was proven by the power allocation. On the context of corruption, in Democratic Party in which SBY becomes the advisory council, there was state officials who were allegedly involved in corruption case.

At the end of his speech, Prof. Jawahir, there are five main characters in law justice. The first is holistic or integrated among the truth values (ontologism), the truth of the knowledge ( Epistimological) and the values of benefit (praxis). The second point is that jurisprudence must have inclusive character. The complexity of modern society will be very naive if the jurisprudence aside from applied science and the truth and justice morality. The third is that justice jurisprudence must posess equality in different capacity which was determined by the equality of opportunity, occasion, equality capabilities, and accountability. The fourth is transplantative character. The fifth is the justice law character must accommodate particular law condition.
