Exploring Culture through Words: Developing Writing Skills for Students in Masdarling Village, Bontang City
The primary objective of this community service program is to cultivate English writing skill among high school students and those living in the tourist village of Masdarling in Bontang, East Kalimantan. By connecting culture with writing experiences, the intention is to reinforce cultural identity and uphold the values of local wisdom and indigenous culture among the younger generation, particularly in light of the challenges posed by the dominance of global culture. The implementation of this community service project involves a series of stages, which include identifying the problem, planning the activity, implementing the activity, conducting evaluation and monitoring, and reporting on the activity. The culture-oriented writing outputs produced by high school students in East Kalimantan exhibit various challenges, such as a limited range of ideas, the use of complex vocabulary and grammar, and ineffective sentence construction. The findings from the community service initiatives demonstrate an increasing awareness of the significance of training for skill development. This English writing training is projected to function as a platform for local communities to enhance their ability to showcase local traditions and culture to a worldwide audience, ultimately drawing the interest of international tourists.

Pendampingan dan Bantuan Hukum Kepada Masyarakat Dalam Perkara Pidana di Pengadilan Negeri Kelas 1A Khusus Makassar, Kota Makassar
Peran dan tantangan advokat di era globalisasi menekankan bahwa seorang advokat berkewajiban untuk memberikan layanan hukum terbaik dengan tingkat profesionalisme yang tinggi, sambil memastikan bahwa proses hukum berjalan efisien dan menghasilkan hasil yang efektif tanpa ceroboh. Advokat harus memprioritaskan kepentingan klien di atas kepentingan pribadi, dan sebagai bagian dari tanggung jawabnya dalam mencari keadilan untuk klien, advokat dilarang untuk menguji dirinya sendiri. Selain itu, advokat harus menjaga sikap rendah hati, melindungi hak-hak klien tanpa tergoda oleh imbalan dari pihak lawan, serta berhati-hati dalam memberikan pendapat agar tidak merugikan klien atau merusak reputasi profesionalnya. Melalui pelaksanaan kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat ini, kami dapat menyimpulkan bahwa kendala utama dalam akses keadilan di masyarakat adalah minimnya pengetahuan mengenai bantuan hukum gratis yang diatur dalam Undang-Undang No. 16 Tahun 2011 tentang Bantuan Hukum. Dengan demikian, kegiatan pengabdian ini diharapkan dapat menjadi langkah awal untuk menerapkan ilmu yang berguna dan relevan, yang dapat membantu mewujudkan akses hukum dan keadilan bagi masyarakat miskin di Indonesia
