The Urgency of Traditional Law for Students in the Environment College

Abstract

Customary law in the campus environment is not well known by name but is well developed through good habits. One of the sanctions imposed by customary law in the campus environment is shame because it is known that they do not follow existing customs. Not all universities in Indonesia have law faculties. The importance of customary law should be revived and introduced to the campus community even though it is not a law faculty. Customary law is also supported through provisions stipulated in the law seeing Article 18 B Paragraph 2 of the 1945 Constitution which is used as the juridical basis for the application of customary law in Indonesia. The importance of elements of customary law is carried out through initial meetings with familiarity activities and a kind of introduction to new student campus life. These activities include teaching that there are ways of appreciating, respecting, communicating with lecturers, communicating with friends, communicating with campus officials, before and after receiving lectures and so on. Customary law will make certain the customs that are carried out. Elements of customary law should be applied to good behavior applied on campus. This is to anticipate that customary law is not easily ignored by campus residents, especially students. Customary law will provide obedience values, human values, religious and a sense of empathy.
