Legal Exploration on Advanced Law (LEXA) is a double-blind peer-reviewed law journal managed, edited, and published entirely by the students of the Faculty of Law, Universitas Gadjah Mada, under the auspices of the Asian Law Students' Association Local Chapter Universitas Gadjah Mada (ALSA LC UGM). The journal is published biannually as a platform dedicated to encouraging legal research, critical analysis, and academic writing among law students.

​

LEXA was established in 2026 as the continuation of ARJUNA: ASEAN Legal Journal, carrying a renewed identity that reflects ALSA LC UGM's commitment to strengthening academic publication standards and expanding legal discourse on contemporary legal developments. This transformation also forms part of the journal's standardization process, including its application for an International Standard Serial Number (ISSN).

​

As an academic platform, LEXA provides opportunities for law students of Universitas Gadjah Mada and other ALSA Local Chapters, as well as broader academic contributors, to publish scholarly works across various fields of law. While its scope covers both public and private law, LEXA places particular emphasis on advanced law, addressing contemporary legal challenges arising from technological advancement, digital transformation, globalization, transnational governance, and modern regulatory developments.

All submissions to LEXA undergo a rigorous double-blind peer review process to uphold academic integrity and objectivity. Throughout the review process, the identities of both Authors and Reviewers remain anonymous, with reviewers selected based on their expertise in the relevant field of law. This process ensures that every manuscript is evaluated fairly and in accordance with established academic standards.

​

For Volume 7, LEXA presents the theme "Artificial Intelligence and the Challenges of Modern Legal Systems: Establishing Certainty, Justice, and Accountability in the Algorithmic Era," welcoming legal scholarship across various fields, including Intellectual Property Law, Civil Law, Criminal Law, Business Law, Consumer Protection Law, Human Rights Law, and other relevant areas.

LEXA welcomes authors, readers, reviewers, and academic practitioners to contribute to the advancement of legal scholarship. Through this journal, ALSA LC UGM seeks to strengthen the culture of legal research and academic writing while encouraging meaningful discussions on contemporary legal issues.

​

As this year's Editor-in-Chief, I am deeply honored and grateful for the opportunity to introduce the inaugural edition of LEXA: Legal Exploration on Advanced Law. LEXA embodies ALSA LC UGM's aspiration to cultivate a culture of critical inquiry, thoughtful legal analysis, and academic excellence among aspiring legal professionals. Through this journal, we seek to provide a platform where innovative ideas, diverse perspectives, and contemporary legal issues can be explored with integrity and intellectual rigor. I sincerely hope that LEXA will continue to inspire meaningful legal discourse and become a valuable contribution to the development of legal knowledge in Indonesia and beyond.
