This study examines the transformative potential of artificial intelligence (AI) in the Indonesian judiciary, focusing on how its integration can enhance the efficiency and accessibility of the legal system. As the Indonesian Supreme Court begins incorporating AI into its case management and litigation processes, this research investigates how such advancements can streamline legal procedures, improve case handling, and promote equitable access to justice for all citizens, including vulnerable groups. To review AI adoption through several core judicial values, this article draws on the U.S. experience to identify risks and advantages. Ultimately, this research contributes to the discourse on AI and judicial values, particularly in jurisdictions seeking to balance technological innovation with accountability, equality, fairness, and access to justice.Keywords: Artificial Intelligence, Effective judiciary, Indonesia, United States.
The study aims to analyze the dynamics of Indonesian telemedicine regulations and examine the consistency of telemedicine norms to realize harmonization of telemedicine regulations. The rapid development of telemedicine in Indonesia has driven the need for adaptive and consistent regulations to manage remote healthcare services. Although there are already regulations to manage telemedicine, consistency of norms within these regulations remains a challenge. The results show that telemedicine regulations in Indonesia have gradually developed from 2014 to the present, but inconsistencies between legal instruments have the potential to create legal uncertainty for service providers and patients. The implementation of telemedicine requires consistent norms within a comprehensive regulatory framework as a form of harmonization in ensuring service quality, data protection, and patient privacy, as well as the responsibilities of the parties, which can be adopted from developed countries such as the United States and Singapore. In conclusion, Indonesian telemedicine regulations require harmonization of norms and strengthening of legal protection to effectively address technological dynamics and societal needs. Synchronizing professional standards, data protection, and legal accountability within comprehensive regulations is key to ensuring the sustainability of safe, reliable, and equitable telemedicine servicesKeywords: Data protection, Health law, Indonesia’s telemedicine, Legal responsibility, Regulatory transition.
This study examines the dynamic relationship between state law and customary law in the governance of local financial institutions, with a focus on Village Credit Institutions (LPD) in Bali. As community-based entities rooted in Balinese customary traditions, LPD operate under awig-awig and pararem, which function as the primary legal references in managing institutional operations. While these customary norms play a vital role in preserving cultural identity and social cohesion, their application often varies among villages, leading to legal inconsistencies and governance disparities. Such variations may generate potential gaps in regulation and accountability, primarily when LPD handles public funds or large-scale financial transactions. Adopting a socio-legal approach that combines interdisciplinary, statutory, conceptual, and comparative perspectives, this research examines how power and responsibility are shared between state institutions and customary authorities. The findings indicate that supervisory duties are frequently transferred from government agencies to local customary leaders. Although this practice reinforces community autonomy, it can also weaken institutional oversight and contribute to recurring cases of financial mismanagement. The study highlights the importance of developing a coherent regulatory system under the supervision of the Financial Services Authority (OJK) to ensure transparency, consistency, and accountability in LPD management. Strengthening coordination between customary values and national legal standards is crucial to align cultural practices with modern financial governance. The results of this research provide policy insights for enhancing local financial regulation that respects cultural identity while upholding institutional integrity and public trust. In a broader sense, the study contributes to ongoing discussions on legal pluralism and the reform of Indonesia's decentralized governance framework.
The extradition agreement between the Republic of Indonesia and the Republic of Singapore, signed in Bintan, Riau Islands, on January 25, 2022, was ratified through Law Number 5 of 2023 concerning the Ratification of the Agreement between the Government of the Republic of Indonesia and the Government of the Republic of Singapore on the Extradition of Fugitives. This ratification represents a continuation of earlier bilateral commitments and aims to strengthen legal cooperation by ensuring that individuals who commit criminal offenses and subsequently flee to Singapore can be prosecuted in accordance with the laws of both countries. The enactment of this law reflects a complex legal-political process shaped by national interests, evolving bilateral relations, and increasing public pressure to enhance the effectiveness of law enforcement, particularly in addressing transnational crime. This study examines the philosophical, sociological, and juridical underlying the enactment of the Extradition Treaty Law. Employing a normative legal research approach, the study is descriptive in nature and is based on library research. It relies on secondary data, primary legal materials in the form of legislation and regulations, and tertiary legal materials such as legal dictionaries. The data are analyzed qualitatively using an analytical and systematic perspective.Keywords: Legal politics, Agreement, Extradition.
The historical disputes between Islamic law, Pancasila, and human rights are examined in this research of Islamic constitutionalism in Indonesia's complex legal landscape. This study examines Old Order to Reform Era developments from a historical-legal standpoint. It covers the Jakarta Charter discussions, the Masyumi party ban, and the changing relationship between state and religion during the New Order. It shows how Indonesia institutionalizes legal diversity by integrating state, Islamic, and customary law while upholding constitutional supremacy. Aceh's qanun implementation shows that maintaining regional sovereignty, Sharia-based legislation, and constitutional equality and religious freedom is challenging. The rise of Sharia-inspired rules, particularly in Aceh, raises questions about Indonesia's constitutional identity and human rights, particularly gender discrimination and minority rights. This paper promotes legal harmonization, institutional monitoring, and an inclusive approach to Indonesia's complex legal structure to match Islamic legal ambitions with democratic ideals. Keywords: Constitutionalism, Islamic Law, Qanun, Pluralism, and Human Rights.
