Featured as a distinguished highlight of a recent event, the signing of books authored by two of the nation’s most respected legal scholars — Prof. O.C. Kaligis and Prof. Dr. I.B.R. Supancana — underscored their continued contribution to Indonesia’s legal development
Naz Schinder, Founder of Schinder Law Firm, whose long-standing commitment to legal excellence and professional development reflects the spirit celebrated during the signing, opened the event by stating:
“It is essential that legal knowledge remains accessible, up-to-date, and closely connected to the realities faced by the public, institutions, and investors who depend on the strength of Indonesia’s legal framework. Today’s signing is a reminder of how scholarship continues to guide our nation’s legal progress.”
Strengthening Investor Confidence Through Legal Clarity
Prof. O.C. Kaligis, through his book “Ketika Investor Asing Menghadapi Hukum”, offers an incisive perspective on the challenges and realities faced by foreign investors within Indonesia’s legal ecosystem.
As one of Indonesia’s most established legal advocates, Prof. Kaligis distills decades of courtroom and advisory experience into insights on regulatory oversight, judicial pathways, and investor confidence — themes that remain essential as Indonesia continues strengthening its investment climate.
During the signing, Prof. OC Kaligis reflected on the purpose of his work, noting:
“Foreign investors must not only understand the written law, but also how it is practiced. My hope is that this work helps them navigate Indonesia with clarity, confidence, and respect for the legal institutions that safeguard their interests.”
Advancing National Data Protection Understanding
“Mengawal Pelindungan Data Pribadi” by Prof. Dr. I.B.R. Supancana is a timely and authoritative guide on Indonesia’s emerging data protection framework, written in response to the growing urgency of safeguarding personal data across sectors.
Motivated by concerns over Indonesia’s readiness in data governance, Prof. Supancana highlighted the broader implications of his work, stating:
“Data protection is no longer a technical issue — it is a matter of national trust and institutional integrity. This book aims to support both government and industry in building a safer, more accountable digital environment for all Indonesians.”
Two Scholars, One Mission for Indonesia
More than a formal signing, the occasion brought together members of the Schinder community and legal professionals who share a commitment to strengthening Indonesia’s legal landscape. The atmosphere was marked by genuine enthusiasm, with many attendees eager to meet the authors personally and have their copies signed — a reflection of the deep respect held for both scholars and the enduring relevance of their work.
As the event concluded, the strong audience engagement served as a reminder of the shared responsibility carried by legal practitioners, academics, and policymakers — to safeguard the nation’s legal foundations, to anticipate new challenges, and to ensure that Indonesia’s legal system evolves with both strength and purpose.
