Abstract

This article examines the critical role of civil legal assistance in protecting the rights of vulnerable populations, including women, children, indigenous peoples, and persons with disabilities. Despite existing legal frameworks and recent advancements in legal aid provision, significant barriers persist that hinder access to justice for these groups. Through a qualitative analysis of recent literature and case studies from various regions, this study highlights successful models of community-based legal aid initiatives and the impact of non-governmental organizations in promoting social justice. The findings underscore the importance of increasing funding, raising public awareness, and utilizing technology to enhance access to legal resources. By addressing these challenges and implementing effective strategies, societies can ensure that all individuals, regardless of their background or circumstances, have the opportunity to assert their rights and seek justice. This article aims to contribute to ongoing discussions about equitable access to legal services and the necessity of empowering marginalized communities within the broader framework of human rights.

Abstract

Restorative Justice is a concept that focuses on victim recovery and is relevant to be applied in various regulations, one of which is the regulation for religious-based education in Indonesia. This study aims to answer two legal issues, namely the orientation of the application of the concept of Restorative Justice and the ideal formulation of the application of the concept of Restorative Justice to overcome acts of sexual violence in religious-based education environments. This research is a normative legal research with a concept and statutory approach. The results of the study show that the orientation of the concept of Restorative Justice in an effort to overcome acts of sexual violence in religious-based education environments already exists, such as the orientation to provide optimal recovery for victims. Even so, the concept orientation can still be considered partial or imperfect. Therefore, in order to perfect the arrangements regarding the concept of Restorative Justice, it is necessary to formulate an ideal by prioritizing two orientations, namely orientation to explicitly regulate the concept of Restorative Justice in laws and regulations as well as arrangements regarding the involvement of various sectors which include the surrounding community, foundation leaders, student guardians, to the School Committee to minimize sexual violence in religious-based education environments in Indonesia.Keywords: Religious Based Education; Restorative Justice; Sexual Violence.

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to examine the criminal difficulties and legal ramifications of the modern era's epidemic of disinformation on social media in an effort to come up with thorough answers to these issues. The proliferation of hoaxes and other forms of misinformation has threatened Indonesia's social, political, and economic stability in recent years, thanks to the proliferation of social media and other forms of online communication. Another major problem with prosecuting hoaxers is the difficulty of law enforcement in the digital sphere, which includes factors like the anonymity of the offenders, different interpretations of rules, and the general public's lack of competence with digital technology. A descriptive-analytical technique is used in the research method of normative legal studies. In order to find problems and provide answers, this study compares applicable rules with international standards, namely the Criminal Code and the Electronic Information and Transactions Law. Laws, judicial judgments, and other primary legal documents are complemented by secondary legal items such as scholarly publications and literature. The study's findings reveal that despite the existence of laws like the Electronic Information and Transactions Law, its execution is often hindered by the international character of cyberspace and the dearth of funding for digital forensics tools. To combat these issues, the report suggests more adaptable regulation updates, societal efforts to increase digital literacy, technological advancements for law enforcement, and international collaboration. Additionally, law enforcement must strike a balance between protecting individuals' right to free speech and discouraging criminal behavior

Abstract

This study aims to examine the effectiveness of mediation in resolving civil disputes and to identify various challenges faced at the District Court of Bandung. The approach used is normative-empirical juridical, combining analysis of the prevailing legal provisions particularly Supreme Court Regulation (PERMA) No. 1 of 2016 with empirical data obtained through interviews, observations, and document studies of civil cases undergoing mediation. The findings indicate that although mediation has been normatively integrated into the civil justice system, its effectiveness remains low. The main obstacles include the public's low legal awareness regarding the benefits of mediation, the limited number and competence of judge-mediators, and the lack of facilities and institutional support. Furthermore, mediation is often perceived merely as an administrative obligation rather than a substantive dispute resolution mechanism. Therefore, regulatory reform, continuous mediator training, and intensive public education are needed to make mediation a more effective, efficient, and equitable alternative for dispute resolution.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze and compare the legal force between authentic deeds and deeds under hand in civil cases in Indonesia. The focus of the study is directed at how the two types of deeds function as written evidence in the evidentiary process in court, and the extent to which they provide legal certainty for the parties. The method used is normative legal research, which is research based on an analysis of legal norms in laws and regulations, legal doctrines, and court decisions. The approaches used include the statute approach, the conceptual approach, and the case approach. The results of the study show that authentic deeds made by public officials have perfect evidentiary power, both formally and materially, and provide higher legal certainty in the settlement of civil cases. Meanwhile, the deed under hand has a weaker evidentiary power because it relies on the acknowledgment of the parties who made it or reinforcement through legalization and additional proof. Therefore, to strengthen the legal position of deeds under hand, it is necessary to increase public legal literacy and update regulations that provide clarity regarding legalization and recognition of its evidentiary power before the law.

Abstract

The rapid adoption of cryptocurrencies has significantly altered the landscape of transnational organized crime, offering new tools for money laundering, illicit trade, and cross-border value transfer. This qualitative research explores the multifaceted role of cryptocurrencies in facilitating criminal activities across borders, focusing on the legal challenges and opportunities for global law enforcement cooperation. Through systematic analysis of recent case studies, legal frameworks, and policy documents, the study identifies how criminal organizations exploit the anonymity, speed, and decentralized nature of cryptocurrencies to evade detection and prosecution. Key findings highlight persistent barriers such as jurisdictional fragmentation, technological gaps in law enforcement capabilities, and inconsistent regulatory standards across countries. However, the research also uncovers emerging opportunities, including the development of advanced blockchain analytics, harmonization of regulatory approaches (such as the EU’s MiCA regulation), and the formation of international task forces. The study concludes that effective countermeasures require enhanced multilateral cooperation, standardized legal protocols, and continuous capacity building within law enforcement agencies. By addressing these challenges, policymakers and practitioners can better disrupt the financial infrastructure of transnational organized crime in the digital age.

Abstract

This qualitative study explores the role of community service in enhancing access to justice through free legal aid programs in Region E, an area marked by socioeconomic disparities and limited legal resources. Using semi-structured interviews with 15 legal practitioners and 20 beneficiaries, along with documentary analysis of program reports from 2020 to 2025, the research investigates how these initiatives empower marginalized populations and address systemic barriers. The findings reveal three key themes: (1) empowerment through increased legal literacy, enabling beneficiaries to better understand and assert their rights; (2) building trust between communities and formal legal institutions by providing accessible, culturally sensitive services; and (3) persistent challenges including funding shortages, staffing limitations, and infrastructural constraints such as poor internet connectivity. The study highlights that free legal services not only resolve individual legal issues but also contribute to broader social awareness and collective empowerment. However, the sustainability and scalability of these programs depend on stronger institutional support and innovative approaches, such as digital outreach and partnerships with local authorities. This research contributes to the discourse on grassroots legal empowerment by providing empirical insights from a rural context often underrepresented in justice studies. The findings offer practical recommendations for policymakers, NGOs, and legal professionals aiming to improve justice accessibility through community-driven efforts. Ultimately, the study underscores the critical importance of community service initiatives in bridging justice gaps and fostering inclusive legal systems.

Abstract

This study examines how restorative justice (RJ) and formal legal procedures compare in handling minor crimes at the police level in Jakarta, Indonesia. Using a qualitative legal-methods approach, it analyzes Indonesian laws and regulations (KUHP, KUHAP, Perkapolri, etc.), official police data, and recent case studies (2021–2025) from Jakarta police divisions. Key findings indicate that, under Perkapolri No. 8/2021 and Law No. 8/2021 (amending KUHAP), Indonesian police can now resolve many non-violent minor offenses via RJ. For example, Polres Metro Jakarta Barat reported resolving 525 cases through RJ in 2022. Compared to formal prosecution (which proceeds to court and possible imprisonment), RJ often brings faster, amicable settlements and reduces case backlogs. However, strict criteria apply: RJ is limited to relatively minor crimes with victim consent, and excluded are serious offenses or those injuring public justice. An illustrative case in South Jakarta involved a laptop theft on public transit resolved by RJ after the victim reclaimed her property and withdrew charges. This comparative analysis finds that while RJ has effectively resolved many petty cases (with support from police policies and victim participation), formal procedures remain necessary for severe crimes to ensure legal certainty and social justice. The study concludes that Indonesia’s dual approach—relying on formal law for serious offenses and RJ for minor disputes—offers practical benefits, provided safeguards (e.g. clear guidelines and voluntariness) are maintained.
