This research uses a philosophical approach, which is to examine legal higher education in Indonesia from the ideal side. The data used is secondary data, and the data is analyzed qualitatively. The results of this study showed that the orientation of legal higher education in Indonesia began from the dutch east indies, the Old Order, the New Order until after the Reformation.
