Abstract

Corruption is one of the most serious problems in Indonesia’s law enforcement system, as it not only causes financial losses to the state but also weakens public trust in legal institutions. The legal profession, particularly advocates, plays a strategic role in maintaining integrity and ensuring justice based on professional ethics. This study aims to analyze the strengthening of advocates’ professional ethical values as a preventive effort to combat corruption from the perspective of anti-corruption education. The method used in this research is a qualitative approach with normative legal research through literature review of statutory regulations, advocates’ code of ethics, and relevant scholarly works, including studies by Budi Sastra Panjaitan. The results show that the internalization of values such as honesty, responsibility, independence, and professionalism within anticorruption education plays an important role in shaping advocates with strong integrity. Anti-corruption education functions not only as a means of developing legal awareness but also as a preventive instrument to reduce ethical violations in law enforcement practice. Therefore, strengthening anti-corruption education based on advocates’ professional ethics is a strategic step toward establishing a clean, transparent, and just judicial system.
