It is a postulate in the Dignified Justice Theory perspective (Dignified Justice), that the law might only be found in the spirit of the people (Volksgeist, or the legal system, and in this case the Pancasila Legal System), in which the research of finding of the law has to be undertaken. The spirit of the people as such is manifested in the existing laws and regulations in the legal system in question. The same case apply in the effort to understand and describe the principle of legal aid in Indonesia, research has to be conducted in order to find it in the existing laws and regulations in the Pancasila Legal System. It has been found that an important principle of legal aid in the Pancasila Legal System is that, legal aid is the instrument of the state to protect stability in terms of close the gap between the haves and the have nots parties living in the country. Such efforts as to try as best as possible to close the gaps; may also be termed as the effort of the law in upholding human dignity (nguwongke uwong); in particular, serving those who has been strugling to have themself freed from entangled legal problems encountered in the process of the court or out of the court settlements.
