Policy Evaluation of the Imposition of Restrictions on Emergency Community Activities (PPKM) as a policy aimed at preventing the spread of COVID-19. This policy is based on the instructions of the Minister of Home Affairs. This research is a socio-legal legal research with primary data in the form of a questionnaire distributed randomly to the community in East Java Province. The secondary data in this study are books, journal articles, and websites related to the legal system theory of Lawrence Friedman. The results of this study confirm that this policy is not optimal because it does not meet the aspects of legal substance, legal structure, and legal culture in society as proposed by Lawrence Friedman. Therefore, it is hoped that optimization of aspects of legal substance, legal structure, and legal culture is needed to make a policy effective.
