<![CDATA[This article aims to analyze Pancasila as a paradigm system from a sociological perspective, focusing on the discourse of social justice and legal reform in Indonesia. This study departs from various problems in law enforcement that still show a gap between normative law and social reality, so that the law often fails to deliver substantive justice to the community, especially vulnerable groups. Using a qualitative-normative approach enriched through socio-legal analysis, this article shows that Pancasila not only functions as a source of legal values and legitimacy, but also as a critical interpretive framework for understanding the dialectical relationship between positive law, social structures, power practices, and demands for justice. The findings of this article emphasize that the failure of law enforcement in the reform era is not solely due to weaknesses in regulations or legal instruments, but is more deeply related to the weak internalization of Pancasila's values of justice in institutional practices, the legal culture of officials, and public legal awareness. Therefore, the revitalization of Pancasila as a socio-legal paradigm is a normative and sociological prerequisite for the realization of substantive social justice in the Indonesian legal system.]]>
