Evaluation of the “One Village, One Law Graduate” Program at the Darussalam College of Sharia Sciences (STISDA) Bermi, West Lombok

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the implementation of the One Village, One Law Graduate Program at STISDA Bermi, West Lombok, using Brinkerhoff’s evaluation model, which encompasses the components of input, process, output, and outcome. The research employed a qualitative descriptive method, with data collected through interviews, field observations, and document analysis. The findings reveal that the student selection process considered regional representation and social motivation, fostering a strong moral attachment between participants and their home villages. Program funding was conducted collaboratively between the university and village governments, ensuring the sustainability of legal advocacy activities. The involvement of multiple stakeholders—including lecturers, students, village officials, and community members—created effective coordination and strengthened social networks. Students served as a bridge between legal theory and community practice, assisting in local dispute resolution and enhancing residents’ understanding of legal procedures. The program effectively bridged the gap in legal access in remote villages and strengthened community social capacity while fostering professionalism and social empathy among students. These findings provide valuable insights for developing effective and sustainable community-based legal education programs.
