description This article aims to compare the legal system in Indonesia with the legal system in Malaysia by looking at the similarities and differences between the two countries legal systems. 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.

(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.
