Abstract

This research analyzes the judicial implications of the Constitutional Court’s rulings on structured, systematic, and massive (TSM) violations in Indonesian elections, and their impact on democratic integrity. Using a socio-legal approach, it combines legal analysis with social science perspectives to examine how the Court interprets and applies TSM principles within a broader socio-political context. The study finds that while the Constitutional Court plays a pivotal role in upholding electoral integrity and safeguarding democratic values, significant challenges remain. Chief among these is the difficulty of proving TSM violations, which are often entangled with powerful political interests. These challenges can weaken public trust, hinder accountability, and contribute to a democratic deficit. The study concludes that more robust judicial mechanisms and clearer evidentiary standards are needed to ensure fair adjudication and strengthen Indonesia’s democratic institutions.

Abstract

This study examines the filling of public offices with special criteria, as outlined in the constitution, which applies specifically to Constitutional Court judges. However, the term "statesman" is not explicitly defined in the criteria. Progressive law, de facto, emphasizes the substantive dimension of justice in the pursuit of upholding the right to justice and democracy. This paper explores the reconstruction of recruitment and external supervision of constitutional judges, focusing on the qualifications of statesmen from a progressive legal perspective. It also discusses the relevance of the progressive legal understanding of statesman qualifications to the independence of the Constitutional Court in Indonesia. The method employed in this research is normative juridical, conducted through literature review. The findings suggest that constitutional decisions and policies should be based on a justice dimension grounded in progressive law. The qualification of a statesman can be assessed through a track record of daily actions and relationships with the broader environment. By applying statesman qualifications to constitutional judges, it signals their capability and compatibility in ensuring the independence of institutions that prioritize justice in state governance and public administration.

Abstract

The issue as to whether students are holders of rights in the changing faces of higher education in Nigeria has been a subject of great debate by scholars in human rights law and educational administration. These debates relate to whether students only have an interest which should be protected or a choice which can be exercised as right holders. However, the choice of exercising this interest is inherent in the student’s right to participation which entails a right to express a view especially in areas of decision making relating to education and welfare. The author noted in this study that even though issues of student’s welfare and education are engaged on the platform of rights, there is controversy as to whether students should participate in decisions that will change the face of higher education. This paper argues that adopting a right-based approach which recognizes the evolving competence of students and that allows full participation of students in decision making process in higher education in these respects strictly complies with international human rights practices on right to education. The paper concluded by making some recommendations useful to tackle the technical and legal intricacies occasioned by a weak educational culture.

Abstract

The main aim of the article is to examine how the Nigerian lawyer will be better equipped through mandatory continuing legal education with regards to developing a cross- border approach to legal education in Nigeria. The article revealed the shortcomings of legal education in Nigeria and compared them with other legal education system around the globe. The article addressed three core questions that are particularly relevant to the Nigerian lawyer: (1) who is considered a Nigerian lawyer under the Nigerian legal practitioners Act? Approaching this question allows examination of the relevant sections of the legal practitioners Act. The second and third questions addressed two issues that are crucial to the practice of law in Nigeria (2) how is the practice of law regulated? (3) Are there provisions for mandatory continuing legal education for the Nigerian lawyers? This approach revealed that there are provisions for mandatory continuing legal education in Nigeria, but in practice, it appears only to be figment of imagination. However, the article adopted a diagnostic approach based on a review of literatures and evidence-based analysis of legal education around the globe. In conclusion the article through the lens of cross-border legal education finds that there is a gap in repositioning the Nigerian lawyer through mandatory continuing legal education since it has remained a figment of imagination ever since it evolved. This article is expected to provide an understanding of the appropriate form of legal education for Nigerian lawyers to face contemporary challenges in the competitive market for lawyers.
