Abstract

Professionalism for a profession is absolutely necessary with the aim of recognizing a job that is categorized as a profession. As a noble profession (officium nobile), the advocate profession must carry out its duties and responsibilities by prioritizing professionalism in order to make the best effort for clients. One of the best efforts that an advocate must make in resolving a criminal case is to continue to oversee the client’s legal process at every level of examination in accordance with the provisions of the procedural law in the Indonesian criminal justice system. It becomes a separate problem when it comes to proving a murder case for which the exact cause of death of the victim is not known, which in its proof absolutely requires a forensic autopsy to determine the exact cause of death of the victim. Considering that the party with the most authority in declaring the cause of a person’s death is a forensic doctor, the role of a professional advocate is crucial in ensuring the rights of the murderer to obtain evidence in the form of a forensic autopsy on the victim’s death. The author raises the problem in this paper, namely how the professionalism of advocates in handling criminal cases of murder without autopsy in Indonesia. This research is normative research using a case approach.
