The type of research used is empirical juridical, supported by primary, secondary and tertiary data sources. The method used comprises of sociological, statutory, and conceptual approaches. The results of the study concluded that the role of OBH in DIY in providing free legal services has been carried out in accordance with the provisions of the law.
