Public institutions in modern state life have increasingly become essential mechanisms for fulfilling community needs. In the twenty-first century, as society advances alongside rapid technological development, the community as the primary stakeholder expects public services that are effective, just, and satisfying. To fulfill these expectations, Maritime Education and Training Institutions must provide services responsibly and in compliance with ethical and legal standards. This research seeks to assess current practices, uncover existing shortcomings, and propose a reconstructed framework for public service regulations within Maritime Education and Training Institutions, particularly those that remain inadequate in ensuring justice. The research employs a post-positivist paradigm, recognizing multiple perspectives, context-dependent realities, and the importance of rigorous and precise data collection. A sociological juridical approach is also used, supported by primary, secondary, and tertiary data sources. The results highlight three main findings. First, existing public service regulations do not adequately prioritize fairness and oversight, demonstrating the need to integrate these principles as required by Law No. 25 of 2009 on Public Services. Second, the shortcomings originate from weak philosophical foundations and an underdeveloped legal framework, which remain overly simplistic, lack equity, and provide limited space for public oversight. Third, incorporating justice values grounded in Pancasila and the 1945 Constitution is crucial for establishing good governance that reflects national wisdom while meeting global ethical standards.
