Abstract

This study aims to analyze and formulate the ideal concept of regulating the position of judges as State Officials from the perspective of ius constituendum, by considering the principle of the rule of law adopted by Indonesia. In the Indonesian constitutional system, Article 24 of the 1945 Constitution affirms the judicial power that is independent and free from interference by other powers. However, reality shows that the dualism of the judge's status—as a civil servant and state official—causes ambiguity in the personnel system, administration, and judicial independence. This study uses a normative approach with a qualitative legal analysis method, supported by a philosophical and legislative approach. The results of the study show that the status of judges should be consistently recognized as State Officials to strengthen independence, professionalism, and integrity in carrying out judicial functions. Philosophically, the independence of judges reflects the noble values of Pancasila and the principle of Belief in the One Almighty God, as contained in the court rulings. Therefore, it is necessary to formulate new regulations that eliminate dualism of status and ensure institutional protection for judges. It is hoped that this conceptual reformulation can become the basis for the formation of legislation that is fairer, more progressive and in accordance with the ideals of Indonesian law.

Abstract

This study examines the consistency of the implementation of the Pancasila State of Law in guaranteeing judicial freedom in Indonesia, as stipulated in Article 1 paragraph (3) and Article 24 paragraph (1) of the 1945 Constitution. The Pancasila State of Law integrates the rule of law, protection of human rights, the principles of legality, and judicial independence with Pancasila values that are philosophical, ethical, and religious. Judicial independence, as a key pillar, requires judges to be free from external intervention to produce fair and objective decisions. However, its implementation faces challenges, such as a history of executive intervention, the quality of human resources, and corrupt practices, collusion, and nepotism. This study uses a juridical normative method, analyzes laws and regulations, legal doctrine, and judicial practices in Indonesia, and compares them with the Dutch and United States judicial systems. The results show the need for legal reconstruction through strengthening the guarantee of the position of judge, transparent recruitment, separation of powers, independent budget management, and improving the appeal and cassation mechanisms. This reform will ensure an independent, professional, and integrity judiciary, in line with the values of Pancasila.

Abstract

Pancasila as the basis of the state plays a fundamental role in village government. Although it is constitutionally recognized through Law No. 6 of 2014, village government practices still face challenges such as overlapping authority, weak institutions, and subordination to local governments. This study uses a socio-legal approach with qualitative methods through interviews, observations, and literature studies in Wirogunan Village, Kartasura, Sukoharjo. The results of the research reconstruct the values and norms of village authority to be in harmony with Pancasila, especially in the management of tourism, water resources, and fisheries. This reconstruction emphasizes the importance of environmental ethics, citizen participation, and social justice, and places villages as autonomous entities and main actors of sustainable development within the framework of the Republic of Indonesia.

Abstract

The Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia (NKRI) is a state of law. Based on Article 1 paragraph 3 of the 1945 Constitution, it means that Indonesia is a state that is not based on power (maachstaat). All aspects of society, statehood, and government must be regulated by law. To realize a state of law, legal instruments are needed to regulate all aspects of people's lives to maintain justice and balance. Pancasila and the 1945 Constitution as a philosophical basis are used in national and state life, not only in terms of legislation, but also in all aspects of life. The approach method used in this study is the normative legal approach method. In the normative legal approach, legal research is carried out by examining library materials or secondary data as basic materials for research by conducting searches for regulations and literature related to the problems to be studied. The judge in this case applied a penal policy that prioritized sensitivity to the defendant's condition, including his socio-economic background, the losses that had been recovered, and a cooperative attitude during the legal process. This approach reflects the restorative and humanistic spirit that is also the spirit of national criminal law reform according to the thoughts of figures such as Muladi and Barda Nawawi Arief. Within this framework, Muladi emphasized that the criminal justice system should "not only be repressive and retributive, but must also have a rehabilitative and reintegrative dimension." Meanwhile, Barda Nawawi Arief is of the opinion that the Indonesian criminal justice system must take into account the values of justice that exist in society, because "criminal law does not only reflect legalistic values, but also developing moral and social values." This decision shows a progressive trend in criminal justice practices, emphasizing the importance of the function of law as a tool of social engineering that is adaptive to the dynamics of justice and morals in society. Thus, punishment does not merely function as retribution, but as a means of guidance, rehabilitation, and prevention.
