Abstract

This study examines the philosophical and juridical foundations of legal aid eligibility criteria for low income individuals in Indonesia through the perspective of Aristotle’s distributive justice. The research employs a non empirical normative legal method using statutory, conceptual, and philosophical approaches. Primary legal materials include the Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia of 1945, Law Number 16 of 2011 concerning Legal Aid, and Government Regulation Number 42 of 2013. The analysis reveals that the existing legal aid framework primarily relies on administrative indicators of poverty, particularly certificates of indigence and social assistance documentation. While these mechanisms provide procedural certainty, they do not adequately capture actual legal vulnerability, social exclusion, and barriers to accessing justice. Aristotle’s distributive justice demonstrates that the allocation of legal aid should be based on proportional need rather than formal administrative status alone. The study proposes a reconstructed eligibility model incorporating economic capacity, social vulnerability, legal access barriers, legal literacy, and structural disadvantage. Such a framework strengthens substantive justice, improves the accuracy of legal aid distribution, and enhances the realization of equal access to justice within Indonesia’s constitutional legal order.

Abstract

This study examines the constitutional implications of the absence of constitutional complaint mechanisms within the Indonesian constitutional framework and evaluates the urgency of expanding the authority of the Constitutional Court to strengthen constitutional rights protection. Employing a non empirical normative legal research design, the study analyzes statutory provisions, constitutional doctrines, and comparative constitutional literature through statutory, conceptual, and comparative approaches. Secondary legal materials include constitutional provisions, national legislation, and scholarly works on constitutional adjudication and rights protection. The findings indicate that the current constitutional structure provides fragmented remedies that are insufficient to address direct violations of constitutional rights by public authorities. Comparative insights from established constitutional democracies demonstrate that constitutional complaint mechanisms significantly enhance access to constitutional justice, judicial accountability, and the effectiveness of rights enforcement. The study concludes that introducing constitutional complaint jurisdiction would strengthen constitutional supremacy and improve the coherence of constitutional remedies in Indonesia. The research highlights that institutional reform is necessary to bridge gaps in constitutional protection and to enhance the responsiveness of constitutional adjudication to contemporary governance challenges.
