Muryanto said that this collaboration is also part of the implementation of the Merdeka Learning Campus Merdeka (MBKM) program which provides opportunities for collaboration with various parties, including government, private and industrial institutions, as well as professional organizations.

“In the MBKM internship program, Law Faculty students will do internships in several lawyers' offices and can help with projects handled by Peradi. This will also strengthen and develop Peradi,” continued Muryanto.

"After the signing of this MoU, we will welcome USU Faculty of Law students who will be doing internships, we will hold discussions," said Charles.

According to Charles, through this internship program, students will improve their understanding of legal practice. “Students will understand how the law is when it is operated. The law does not only memorize articles, but also has to be able to translate how to apply them,” he said.
