Sobat UNNES,
You might have heard the rumor: “Why study Law? Eventually, a lawyer’s job will be replaced by AI (Artificial Intelligence).”
That assumption is clearly wrong. In fact, amidst today’s digital technology explosion, the world is experiencing a significant shortage of tech-savvy legal experts. Who will regulate disputes in the metaverse? Who protects AI art copyright? Who prosecute cross-border cybercrimes?
The answer is you, the future legal scholars.
Studying Law in the digital era is no longer about memorizing clauses in thick, dusty books. It is about becoming an architect of justice in the new world. Here are strong reasons why the Law major is a strategic choice right now.
1. The Emergence of New Crimes and Disputes
The digital world has given birth to problems that never existed before. From personal data theft, fintech fraud (illegal online loans), e-commerce disputes, to Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) violations on social media. Indonesia needs legal experts who understand the Electronic Information and Transactions (ITE) Law and Personal Data Protection. If you study Law now, you will be the frontline in solving these modern legal challenges.
2. Analytical Skills Irreplaceable by AI
It is true that AI can search for legal data in seconds. However, law is not mathematics. Law requires interpretation, social context, conscience, and empathy. Legal reasoning, negotiation, and persuasion in the courtroom are arts that only humans possess. In the Law major, you are trained to think critically and construct logical arguments that cannot be mimicked by any robot.
3. Career Prospects
Forget the image that law graduates only work in court. Today, every tech start-up like Gojek, Tokopedia, or Traveloka has a large Legal & Compliance team. They need law graduates to handle digital licensing, draft digital agreement, and ensure regulatory compliance. The salary for Corporate Legal positions in this tech sector is very competitive!
