Prodeo, Circuit Court and Legal Aid to Become the Focus
Jakarta | badilag.net/English - President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono has issued a Presidential Instruction (Inpres) No. 3/2010 dated 21 April 2010 on Fair Development Program. One focus of the Inpres is on securing access for poor women and the marginalized on their family legal matters.
The Inpres is the result of the President’s coordinating meeting with governors across Indonesia and all ministers of the cabinet including Director General of Badilag, Wahyu Widiana, the only participant from the judiciary.

Poor women and the marginalized must have broader access to justice.
President mentions three steps that must be taken to guarantee the poor women and marginalized to have access on their family legal matters; waiving court fees (prodeo procedure), providing free legal aids, and holding circuit courts. Coordinator Minister for Politics, Law, and Security, who is appointed as the program coordinator, is ordered to coordinate with the Supreme Court.
