S.H. stands for Sarjana Hukum, I know, but is there a standard English translation equivalent for this title?

LLB (Bachelor of Law) in the US, BA in Jurisprudence in the UK
SH is a S-1 degree in Indonesia, or equivalent with Baccalaureate degree in the US/UK (require around 4 years of study).
Meanwhile, Master of Law (or LLM) is a graduate degree (an advancement from the Bachelor degree), or equivalent with Magister Hukum (MH) in Indonesian (an S-2 degree).
HOWEVER, most lawyers in the US/UK are required to have a Master's degree, or even a JD (doctorate degree) to practice law, while Indonesia is satisfied with a bachelor degree.
For a practical reason, most of people simply use "Lawyer" for "SH".
Confusing? Of course; law matters is always did! ;-))

: True, this apparently is the full name of the undergraduate degree in Australia. http://www.australianuniversities.com.au/courses/australia/u... ...but SH is an abbreviation, so LLB seems a better match.

In English, it is the same as LLB or a Bachelor of Law degree
