She studied law at the University of Indonesia (S.H., LL.M. 1979) and criminology at Sam Houston State University (M.A., Ph.D. 1991). Since 1999 Ibu Tuti has been a member of the National Law Commission and remains a frequent commentator in Indonesian national and Southeast Asian regional media on the Indonesian legal system and law reform issues. She has also worked within government as an echelon one official (circa Deputy Undersecretary in our terms) in the short-lived Ministry of Human Rights, and is a leading Indonesian authority on human rights, women's issues, and a broader range of social concerns touching on such areas as corruption, the police, and judicial performance. She has been working with us since 2000 under the Law & Finance Institutional Partnership (LFIP, http://www.lfip.org) and previously taught via videoconferencing as course faculty member in our shared LFIP Spring 2003 LAWS 822/SOCW 768F Human Trafficking course (offered jointly with the University of Cologne and UI, plus internally within USC with the College of Social Work). Ibu Tuti will be leaving Columbia around February 15, returning early to start the new semester at UI.
