Abstract

The findings indicate that many alumni are employed in fields not directly related to their academic specialization. Contributing factors to this trend include limited job market opportunities that align with the program's focus and inadequate integration of practical training throughout their studies. Stakeholders recognize strengths among alumni, such as adaptability and commitment, but they also emphasize the necessity for curriculum enhancements aimed at improving job readiness. This research investigates the alumni tracking of the Muamalah Study Program within the Faculty of Sharia and Law at Universitas Islam Negeri Sumatera Utara. The primary objective is to analyze employment patterns among alumni and their correspondence with the academic outcomes of the program. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and content analysis of stakeholders' perceptions and alumni experiences. The results reveal a significant number of alumni securing employment outside their academic fields. Factors contributing to this situation include a scarcity of job market opportunities that align with the program's focus and insufficient practical training during their academic tenure. Stakeholders highlighted alumni strengths, including adaptability and commitment, while stressing the need for curriculum improvements to enhance job readiness. This study underscores the importance of strengthening the alumni network and establishing institutional partnerships to bridge the gap between academic training and employment opportunities. Based on our findings, we offer recommendations aimed at improving alumni outcomes and better aligning them with the objectives of the Muamalah Study Program

Abstract

The implementation of restorative justice within the Indonesian criminal justice system has developed significantly as a shift from a retributive approach toward a justice paradigm oriented toward recovery. However, its implementation still faces fundamental problems, including fragmented regulations, inconsistent standards among law enforcement institutions, and the absence of a comprehensive national framework that ensures legal certainty and uniform application. This study aims to analyze the problems of restorative justice implementation and formulate a reconstruction of restorative justice standardization within the Indonesian criminal justice system based on maqashid syariah. This research employs normative legal research using statutory, conceptual, and philosophical approaches. The findings demonstrate that restorative justice standardization is essential to integrate the principles of legal certainty, victim protection, offender accountability, and social restoration. The maqashid syariah perspective provides a philosophical foundation that restorative justice should be directed toward achieving public benefit (maslahah), preventing harm (mafsadah), and protecting fundamental human values. The contribution of this research lies in proposing a national restorative justice standardization model that integrates modern criminal justice objectives with substantive justice principles based on maqashid syariah as a direction for criminal justice reform in Indonesia. Theoretically, this model expands the conceptual foundation of restorative justice by integrating maqashid syariah with contemporary principles of criminal justice, particularly in balancing legal certainty, victim-oriented justice, accountability, and social restoration. Practically, the proposed standardization can serve as a reference for law enforcement institutions in developing consistent procedures and criteria for restorative justice implementation while strengthening victim protection and offender accountability. From a policy perspective, the findings support the development of an integrated national framework for restorative justice that harmonizes regulations and institutional practices across the Indonesian criminal justice system, thereby promoting greater consistency, legal certainty, and substantive justice.

Abstract

The issue of tuor (the amount of money given by the groom to the bride upon the agreement of both families) in the Mandailing tribe is interesting to be studied. This is quite reasonable because the problem of tuor, on the one hand can actually make a number of marriage plans forced to be canceled. At the same time the majority of the Mandailing tribe are devout adherents of Islam. While Islam itself has the same concept as the tuor, namely dowry. Testing tuor at the application level is something that must be done to measure the extent of the phenomenon. On the other hand, measuring tuor conceptually is also needed to provide a complete view. The results showed that the tuor and dowry in the KHI have the same substance, namely the obligatory gift from the prospective husband to the prospective wife. However, the provision of tuor has advantages, namely the philosophy used in determining tuor. Holong (compassion) and Saanak Saboru (feeling that the groom’s family has considered that the bride is their daughter and vice versa). Thus it can be stated that the determination of the amount of tuor will not burden the bridegroom, because the groom in giving tuor is motivated by affection, and at the same time the parents of the bride-to-be will also not ask for something that can burden the bridegroom

Abstract

Free trade expands market opportunities for local businesses, but at the same time increases the inequality of competitive capacity between domestic businesses and business actors with stronger resources, technology, and market networks. This study aims to analyze the adequacy of Indonesia's legal framework in protecting local businesses in the midst of free trade competition and formulate a model of strengthening law based on competitive equality. The research uses normative legal methods with legislative, conceptual, analytical, and comparative approaches, through the analysis of primary, secondary, and relevant international trade instruments. The results of the study show that local business protection is available through the MSME regime, competition law, and national economic policies, but is still fragmented and has not fully responded to structural inequality and digital market transformation. The study found that repressive protection alone is inadequate to deal with data mastery, platform dependence, bargaining power inequality, and market access barriers. The research recommends the implementation of integrated legal protection based on competitive equality through strengthening business capacity, protecting market access, and institutional capacity for law enforcement. This model allows Indonesia to maintain trade openness while fulfilling the mandate of economic democracy and creating fairer competition for local businesses.
