On Thursday (19/10), the Office of Cooperation and International Affairs of Universitas Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta (OCIA UMY) hosted a Legal Drafting Workshop at the Pascasarjana Building. The workshop aimed to train all the academic staff from all departments and institutions on how to properly draft a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), Memorandum of Agreement (MoA), and Implementation Agreement (IA).

This workshop is conducted annually to ensure that legal documents drafted by academic staff adhere to applicable rules and laws, thereby preventing future unintended events. Approximately 91 participants successfully completed the training.

Dr. Danang Wahyu Muhammad, SH., M.Hum., as the Head of the Bureau of Legal Affairs of UMY, is the main speaker for the agenda and presented the materials for legal drafting. Danang emphasized the importance of understanding the fundamentals of drafting a legal document, stating, “It is essential to understand how to properly draft an MoU, MoA, and IA. As it would also ease everyone’s responsibilities and speed up the review process.”

After delivering an explanation regarding the legal drafting, the workshop moved on to the overview session by demonstrating a sample agreement and IA drafts. Through this workshop, it is hoped that all the academic staff who are responsible for the legal drafting will gain a greater understanding of how to write the correct and appropriate legal drafting for MoU, MoA, and IA.
