Law, as a study of the set of rules made and applied by social or government institutions to regulate societal behavior and realize justice, is an essential foundation for forming a civilized social order. Since its establishment in 1954, the Undergraduate Program in Law Studies of Universitas Sumatera Utara (USU) has proven its success in producing qualified legal experts, such as lawyers, prosecutors, notaries, and legal diplomats, who participate in various parts of Indonesia. The contribution of law students cannot be ignored either. They have become the pillar in making the USU Faculty of Law (FH) one of the leading law faculties in Indonesia by 2022, based on data from THE AUR. The program focuses on teaching various branches of law, such as civil law, criminal law, constitutional law, and other fields.
Assisted by qualified lecturers, this study program is determined to educate students to become a competent generation in the field of law, as well as instill the values of Pancasila as the foundation in the life of the nation and state. After completing this program, students will obtain a Bachelor of Law (S.H.) degree, which is clear proof of their achievement in understanding and applying legal studies in various contexts of life.
