Additionally, they explained the role of the Consumer Dispute Resolution Agency as an institution that handles disputes between consumers and businesses outside of court.
The event was conducted interactively and received a high level of enthusiasm from the participants. Through this public lecture, students are expected to gain a more comprehensive understanding of consumer protection and dispute resolution mechanisms in Indonesia, thereby enabling them to develop a legal perspective that is more responsive to the needs of society.
