The final session was moderated by Bernadus Purnawan, S.S., who outlined the system and stages for submitting theses and legal journals.

During the focus group discussion, moderated by Masna Nuross, S.H., and facilitated by Umar Mubdi, S.H., M.A., students enthusiastically shared their progress, interests, and challenges in writing their theses.
