Perhimpunan Advokat Indonesia (PERADI)

What Perhimpunan Advokat Indonesia (PERADI) does

Perhimpunan Advokat Indonesia (PERADI) is the official professional bar association for Indonesian advocates, operating under the statutory framework of Undang-Undang No. 18 Tahun 2003 (Law on Advocacy). The organization administers the complete professional certification pathway for Indonesian lawyers through three sequential products: PKPA (Pendidikan Khusus Profesi Advokat), a pre-certification legal education program; UPA (Ujian Profesi Advokat), the national professional competency examination administered in multiple waves annually; and the advocate appointment and oath-taking ceremony conducted at regional High Courts (Pengadilan Tinggi). PERADI enforces the advocate code of ethics through its Dewan Kehormatan (Honorary/Ethics Board) and Komisi Pengawas (Supervisory Commission), and provides legal aid to the public through Pusat Bantuan Hukum.

The organization operates through a hierarchical national structure with DPN (Dewan Pimpinan Nasional) coordinating from PERADI Tower headquarters in Jakarta and over 100 DPC (Dewan Pimpinan Cabang) chapters executing local services across all 34 Indonesian provinces with High Court jurisdictions. Core technology infrastructure includes online examination systems for professional certification, PKPA Online (Daring) for hybrid education delivery (implemented during COVID-19), and electronic court (e-court) integration for member practice. The organization is led by Prof. Dr. Otto Hasibuan as Ketua Umum (General Chairman) of the DPN.

Revenue is generated through membership dues from practicing advocates, professional examination fees, professional education program fees (PKPA and PBPA continuing education), and foreign advocate certification fees for international lawyers seeking temporary practice rights in Indonesia. As a professional association, PERADI is member-governed and does not have external investment or commercial ownership. The organization maintains international engagement through IBA membership and bilateral partnerships with arbitration institutions including the Xiamen Arbitration Commission and BANI (Badan Arbitrase Nasional Indonesia).
