Advocate Rights of Immunity as a Criminal Law Effort in the Criminal Justice System

Abstract

Advocates have a very heavy burden in defense, in other words that the Advocate's authority is to defend or handle cases from the investigation stage to execution by a judge's decision if it is a criminal case, whereas in civil cases, the Advocate must defend with a passive nature of justice, or the parties more active in litigation. The existence of an Advocate as a profession that is free, independent and responsible in carrying out his profession, a profession that is said to be a noble office This results in vulnerability to the Advocate profession, due to the noble function of Advocates to carry out the orders of the Law and as a form of protection of human rights, so that Advocates must have the right of immunity every time they carry out their functions and duties as an Advocate. that the right of immunity that exists in Advocates will indirectly be reduced, with the Criminalization of Advocates who defend in Court this will have an impact on the role and burden of Advocates in handling cases, arrangements regarding the criminalization of Advocates are regulated in the chapter regarding crimes against court process (Contempt of Court).
