To find out and analyze the community's response to the existence of Aceh's customary courts in resolving minor assault crimes in Aceh.The research method used a qualitative approach with case studies in several villages in Aceh. Data were collected through interviews with traditional leaders, legal actors, and communities who had been involved in the customary justice process. The results of the study indicate that customary justice in Aceh is recognized by the community and functions as an effective, fast, and adequate dispute resolution mechanism. In cases of minor assault, customary justice prioritizes peaceful and family resolution, which usually involves deliberation between the disputing parties and witnessed by customary elders. The decisions taken tend to be oriented towards restoring social relations and providing customary sanctions, such as compensation or an open apology. However, there are several challenges in the implementation of customary justice, especially in terms of alignment with the national justice system and protection of human rights. In conclusion, customary justice in Aceh plays an important role in resolving minor assault crimes with a restorative and peaceful approach, although better synergy is needed between customary justice and formal justice to improve justice and legal certainty.]]>
