Paralegals play a crucial role in providing access to justice, particularly in legal aid provision and legal empowerment for communities. In this context, the role of paralegals is essential in bridging the gap in legal access, especially in areas that lack sufficient numbers of advocates. Bubalango Village in Sumalata District, North Gorontalo Regency, faces limitations in access to information and legal understanding, which hinders the community from obtaining the legal assistance they need. Therefore, the Faculty of Law at the University of Gorontalo organized a paralegal training program to enhance the community’s capacity in providing basic legal aid, educating citizens about their rights, and strengthening networking and partnerships with legal institutions and the government. The training includes topics on the Indonesian legal system, citizens' rights, paralegal ethics, and practical skills in drafting legal documents and mediation. It is hoped that this training will strengthen access to justice and build a more inclusive legal system at the village level

The Role of Correctional Institutions in Indonesia is Linked to the Purpose of Punishment. The existence of correctional institutions in Indonesia carries out three very important roles, namely: carrying out law enforcement, the role of coaching and internal strengthening of correctional institutions.

So that correctional institutions can increase their role and function effectively in providing guidance to inmates.

The purpose of this research is to find out and analyze the basis of the judge's consideration in imposing a conditional criminal sentence at the Marisa Court, Pohuwato Regency and to find out and analyze the provisions of conditional punishment in achieving the objectives of punishment in the Indonesian punishment system. The implementation of this research is empris research. In this study, researchers used a qualitative method. The consideration of judges in imposing conditional criminal decisions is a complex and diverse process. It involves an evaluation of the offender's circumstances, community safety, rehabilitation needs, as well as the effectiveness of the punishment in preventing future law violations. By carefully considering these factors, judges can make fair and effective decisions. The judiciary is known as the mouthpiece of the law. Conditional punishment in the Indonesian punishment system can be implemented where the Judge can set a general condition, namely that the convicted person during the specified probation period will not commit a criminal act, and a special condition, which is specifically aimed at the behavior of the convicted person. Conditional punishment can be imposed if the Judge imposes a maximum imprisonment of 1 (one) year.  Conditional punishment is an important instrument in the Indonesian punishment system because it provides an opportunity for criminal offenders to rehabilitate themselves and avoid re-engaging in criminal activities.
