<![CDATA[This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the e-Court system implementation in resolving contested divorce cases at the Religious Court of Suwawa and to identify factors influencing its effectiveness. The e-Court system, which includes e-Filing, e-Payment, e-Summons, and e-Litigation, represents a form of judicial modernization to realize the principles of a simple, fast, and low-cost judiciary. This research employs empirical legal research methods with a qualitative descriptive approach. Data were obtained through interviews with judges, registrars, bailiffs, PTSP officers, and e-Court users, and were supported by documentation studies and relevant laws and regulations. Data analysis was conducted using Soerjono Soekanto's legal effectiveness theory, which encompasses factors of legal substance, law enforcement officers, facilities and infrastructure, society, and legal culture. The results indicate that the implementation of the e-Court system at the Religious Court of Suwawa has proceeded normatively and institutionally but has not yet been fully effective empirically. The main obstacles stem from low digital literacy among the community, limited internet infrastructure in several areas, and technical disruptions to the Mahkamah Agung's central server. Nevertheless, the e-Court system plays an important role in increasing access to justice, particularly in contested divorce cases. Therefore, increased socialization, user assistance, and strengthening of technological infrastructure are needed to optimize the implementation of e-Court in the religious courts environment.]]>
