This cooperation will not only increase individual capacity but also strengthen institutional relations between Unram and the Kejati NTB,” he said.

Meanwhile, the Head of the Kejati NTB, Dr. Bambang Gunawan, emphasised the importance of further education for prosecutorial staff in facing increasingly complex legal challenges. “Continuing education at Unram will provide an opportunity for our staff to deepen legal knowledge, improve analytical skills, and contribute more effectively to law enforcement tasks.
