A. Introduction

JURDAR: Jurnal Pengabdian Kepada Masyarakat (JPM) is a peer-reviewed, open-access academic journal published by Sekolah Tinggi Ilmu Syariah Darussalam Bermi, West Lombok. The journal is devoted to advancing knowledge and practice in community service, particularly within the field of law. It aims to provide readers with a deeper understanding of legal-based community empowerment, social justice, and civic responsibility through the publication of research articles and reports on community engagement activities.

The main objective of JURDAR is to disseminate original findings, innovative practices, and relevant discussions on legal approaches to community service and social development. The journal warmly welcomes contributions from scholars, legal practitioners, policymakers, and researchers from related disciplines who are committed to the development of society through law-based initiatives.

Since its first online publication, JURDAR has continuously developed as a platform for dialogue between academia and society, promoting practical solutions and legal awareness to strengthen community resilience. The journal publishes high-quality articles in both Indonesian and English, either in print or online, and serves as a medium for sharing best practices and empirical research results in community-based legal services.

JURDAR: Jurnal Pengabdian Kepada Masyarakat (JPM) encourages submissions from academics, community service practitioners, government representatives, and students. The journal focuses on topics such as law and community empowerment, law and society, legal services, and legal aid. While the scope covers established themes in community engagement, JURDAR prioritizes manuscripts that present novel, impactful, and recent developments in the field of law-based social contribution.

Its coverage includes discussions on legal education for communities, legal assistance programs, participatory lawmaking, and the role of Islamic and national law in enhancing social justice and welfare. By bridging academic research and real-world application, JURDAR serves as a platform for transformative community service practices grounded in legal scholarship.
