In a proactive effort to tackle the alarming issue of juvenile delinquency, the Student Executive Board (DEMA) of Justicia organized a Legal Assistance Outreach in Merdikorejo Village on May 16, 2024. This initiative aims to educate the local community about the importance of legal frameworks in fostering a safe environment for youth development. The outreach featured a guest speaker, Virga Dwi Effendi, S.H., LL.M., a respected lecturer from the Faculty of Law at Gadjah Mada University (UGM).
