Peradi Profesional DKI Jakarta leadership inaugurated, focusing on strengthening competence

The Peradi Profesional organization has officially inaugurated its new leadership for the DKI Jakarta regional branch, marking the start of the 2026-2031 term. The ceremony, held at the JW Marriott Hotel Jakarta, signifies a renewed commitment to advancing the legal profession within the capital.

Advocates must not only be present when clients' interests require defense. Advocates must also be present when law and justice require the courage to be fought for. Professionalism without integrity will lose its meaning, while integrity without competence will not be enough to answer increasingly complex legal challenges.

Harris Arthur Hedar, the Chairman of Peradi Profesional's National Leadership Council (DPN), stressed the significant responsibilities of the newly appointed officials. He highlighted the dual focus on strengthening the organization itself and upholding the professionalism and integrity of advocates. Hedar emphasized that advocates must be present not only for their clients but also when advocating for justice and the rule of law.

"Professionalism without integrity will lose its meaning, while integrity without competence will not be enough to answer increasingly complex legal challenges," Hedar stated during the inauguration. He urged the new leadership to view their positions as a trust and a responsibility, aiming to implement programs that benefit both members and the wider community. The emphasis is on tangible contributions and maintaining the honor of the legal profession.

“

Don't make the position merely a source of pride. Make the position a trust to work and serve. I want DPD PERADI PROFESIONAL DKI Jakarta to be present with real work, provide benefits to members, maintain the honor of advocates, and contribute to the community, nation, and state.

A core agenda for Peradi Profesional under this new leadership is the enhancement of advocate competence. This will be pursued through continuous professional development programs, reinforcing the ethical code, and conducting specialized training for advocates. The goal is to equip legal professionals with not only a deep understanding of laws but also critical thinking skills, practical expertise, and the ability to navigate evolving global legal and technological landscapes.

“

The measure of an organization's greatness is not just how many members it has, but how much benefit it can provide and how steadfastly its members maintain the honor of the profession.

Hedar also underscored the importance of unity within the organization, acknowledging that differing views can exist but should not overshadow the shared objectives and professional honor. The inauguration sets a clear direction for Peradi Profesional DKI Jakarta, prioritizing competence, integrity, and service to the community.

“

We want to prepare advocates who not only understand articles and regulations but are able to think critically, have integrity, master practice, understand technological and global legal developments, and remain steadfast in maintaining the honor of their profession.
