Looking at the data, it can be seen that legal education that continues to be built and provided as if there is no benefit, no impact, so that it is as if legal education does not have any impact on changing people's behavior. How to strengthen legal education as an effort to provide legal awareness for the community, and how to model the right educational collaboration so that legal compliance by the community can be achieved.
