Abstract

This study examines how the Indonesian judiciary adapts to the use of digital evidence within the framework of cyber governance. Using an empirical juridical approach that combines normative legal analysis with empirical data from interviews with 12 legal practitioners and case studies at the Cirebon District Court, the research reveals that while legal provisions formally recognize digital evidence, challenges remain in technical verification, institutional capacity, and judicial interpretation. The findings indicate that judicial adaptation is still in transition, requiring stronger procedural guidelines, enhanced law enforcement capacity, and integration of forensic expertise. This study contributes to the legal discourse on digital evidence and offers practical recommendations to improve the judiciary’s effectiveness in handling cyber-related cases.
