However, this study presents and limits the description of the development and renewal of Indonesian law. To explore more deeply, this article discusses the tendency of the Indonesian legal system to be considered ineffective when examined from the legal system, developments, and reforms, as well as regulations as medicine for diseases in Indonesian law. The research method used is normative juridical legal research using a qualitative descriptive analysis method approach, and processing primary data and secondary data. The findings of this study are that development and legal reform in Indonesia are expected to be more effective, efficient, and meaningful. Therefore, the Indonesian legal system must be built and renewed in accordance with the hierarchy of laws and regulations and carried out by specialist legal scholars who are proportional and professional with the character of Pancasila as human capital in the field of law. Thus it is hoped that the development and renewal of Indonesian law will be in harmony with the fourth paragraph of the Preamble of the 1945 Constitution, Pancasila. This study is useful for the government and legislators as well as other stakeholders such as academics, legal observers, and the general public who are expected to become ideas and references in making efforts to develop and update Indonesian law as a social engineering tool to solve individual and social problems, and also as medicine to cure disease in Indonesian law. %K Indonesian Law %K Development and Renewal %K Hierarchy of Legislation %K Specialist Bachelor of Law %K Pancasila %K Indonesia %U http://www.scirp.org/journal/PaperInformation.aspx?PaperID=130547
