In this paper, we use a normative juridical approach, which is to examine the laws and regulations as well as the attitudes and behavior patterns of citizens towards the law and legal system in force in a country based on secondary legal sources consisting of legislation and other related documents.

(2) Regulations, rules and real behavior patterns in various fields of life of the citizens concerned. (3) Attitudes towards the law and the legal system of citizens are in the form of beliefs, values, awareness, ideas and hopes that make the legal process work. Meanwhile, specifically between Indonesia and Malaysia have differences due to: (1) Legal structures influenced by local or domestic and global legal traditions. (2) Legislative regulations whose formulation is influenced by local or domestic and global legal traditions. (3) The legal process runs according to the situation, conditions and problems faced by the country concerned.Keywords: Comparison of the legal system, the legal system in Indonesia, the legal system in Malaysia. |
