Legal Literacy- Explore progressive legal views and their implementation in the Indonesian legal system. Learn the basic beliefs, values, and dimensions that form the foundation of progressive law to achieve justice, humanity, and responsive development in society. If we look at history, do we assume that there will be no more changes in the future? Is there a peak period, which makes the world stop developing and stop making changes?Legal perspectiveprogressive is not in line with that view. Progressive law looks at the relationship betweenlaw andnature like Panta Rei which flows just like that from a philosopher named Heraclitus. If someone has that view, then he has his own attitude and characteristics in law.First, there is a grip in progressive law that becomes a paradigm, namely "Law for humans, not humans for law," which was expressed by Satjipto Rahardjo. This view is a basic belief that does not consider that law is a regulation that must be obeyed textually, but must look at the human aspect that applies the law itself as the central rotation in law, which means that humans are the center of the rotation of law. If someone has that view, then that person will prioritize humanity in all aspects and law enforcement.Second, progressive law does not have a view in establishing the status quo in law. Using the status quo is the same as thinking that humans are for the law. This view is in line with legalistic, normative, and positivist schools. If there is a law that formulates or says so, then the community can only obey whatever the situation, unless the law is changed. Based on the description above, progressive law emphasizes law into the human aspect that complements each other in human social relations. Satjipto Rahardjo expressed progressive law as a spearhead in achieving maximum legal goals. Progressive law depends on the interpretation of law 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 humane, conscientious rule of law, through spiritual intelligence as a liberating medium. There are several aspects that must be considered when discussing progressive law:
  1. Law activates the conscience of a rule of law,
  2. Law promotes the role and interests of the public,
  3. Law is responsive,
  4. Law prioritizes humanity which leads to a better life,
  5. Law is always changing following the times,
  6. Law must be pro-justice and pro-people, therefore the law must develop by prioritizing the aspirations and needs of the community.
