Abstrakt: Introduction: The authority of a midwife is limited in carrying out health service practices. Midwives in childbirth assistance may only handle physiological labor without complications, and there are some regions that have determined that childbirth must be handled at the Community Health Centers (puskesmas) with the midwife of Community Health Centers (puskesmas). In Semarang City, there are only 7 public health centers with the PONED Community Health Center (Basic Essential Obstetrics Service) which is the place of birth delivery. This is not comparable with the number of births each year totaling 26,337 people. In addition, for family planning services and immunization services, midwives are only allowed to deal with government health care facilities and in carrying out government duties. Material and Method: Sampling was done by non-probability sampling technique with snowball technique. The sample used was Respondents determined by snowball sampling technique of a number of respondents 17 people. Findings: Indicators of professional justice consisted of equal rights and opportunities. Equity rights were obtained which met as much as 25%. And that didn't meet as much as 75%. The same opportunity was obtained which met as much as 40%. And that didn't meet as much as 60%. From the results of an interview with the Head of the Indonesian Midwives Association (IBI) Semarang City, it was stated that professional justice in midwifery regulations did not yet exist, because midwifery regulations were still being fought for in the midwifery law. In addition, the results of interviews with the Health Department of Semarang City on professional justice in midwifery regulations stated that there were no equal rights in midwifery regulations. Conclusion: Legal protection of midwives based on professional justice in midwifery practices based on professional justice must fulfill the conditions reflected in the values of justice, namely having equal opportunities and equal rights. The step to realize professional justice is by understanding that legal protection for midwives is not merely a positive norm in legislation but must be understood that social behavior in interaction is legal terminology that does not only fulfill legal certainty requirements but also benefits and justice as law.
