actions. A malpractice is a wrong-doing, neglect of duty as the dishonest use of a
position of trust for personal gain which goes against the proper regulation and ethical codes of
his/her profession. The constraints faced by Police Institution to handle this problem are the facts
that an advocate is a person who knows law well and expert in it so s/he knows how to break the
law easier than those who are not. The problem is the content of material law in the context of
authentication. Role of civil society is also important in preventing these advocacy malpractice
actions. Research method for this thesis was using juridical-normative law which was a research

codes and the regulations on advocacy matters. This research needed primary data as the main
data and the secondary ones as the supporting data. Analysis method of this thesis was a

reasoning procedures within the starting point of actual events based on actual regulations and
experts? judgements. Result of this research shows that Police Institution and Policemen should
be cooperated with the civil society in preventing advocay-malpractice actions. And as the
suggestion, any citizens are to report to Police Institution whenever the actions are met or even,
when they become the victim of the malpractice actions.
