Abstract

Abstract Introduction to the Problem: The main problem in this study is how the similarities and differences in the position of substitute heirs in obtaining their inheritance rights based on Religious Court Decisions Number 138/Pdt.P/2021/PA.Grt and Number 68/Pdt.P/2023/PA.JS, and how the judges view the two decisions. Purpose/Study Objectives: This study aims to analyze the similarities and differences in the application of the law regarding substitute heirs in the two decisions, as well as to reveal the judge's views in determining decisions based on legal facts and applicable provisions. Design/Methodology/Approach: This research uses a normative legal research method with a statutory approach (statute approach) and case study approach (case approach). Data were obtained from a literature study of laws and regulations, the Compilation of Islamic Law (KHI), and official copies of the court decisions studied. Findings: The research results show that both decisions share similarities in recognizing the validity of Article 185 of the Compilation of Islamic Law (KHI), which grants rights to successor heirs. However, there are differences in the distribution of inheritance shares and recognition of lineage relationships, which are influenced by the facts and evidence presented at trial. The judges' views in both decisions reflect a balance between the application of legal norms, the principle of justice, and the specific circumstances of the parties. Paper Type: Research Article

Abstract Introduction to the Problem: The implementation of rehabilitation at the Class IIA Madiun Youth Penitentiary is one of the author's chosen locations for research on the rehabilitation process and the inhibiting factors in drug rehabilitation, as stipulated in Law Number 35 of 2009 concerning Narcotics. This research is intended to be an effort to prevent recidivism and inmate overcrowding. Purpose/Study Objectives: The implementation of rehabilitation at the Class IIA Madiun Youth Penitentiary has been effective in preventing overcrowding and recidivism and inhibiting factors for the implementation of narcotics rehabilitation at the Class IIA Madiun Youth Prison. Design/Methodology/Approach: The research approach used in this study is a sociological legal approach. The data sources used are primary and secondary. Primary data in this study will be obtained from interviews and observations of the research subjects and related parties. Secondary data will be obtained from document or literature studies sourced from regulations, journals, books, guidelines, and other sources related to the research topic. Findings: The implementation of this program has been adjusted to several relevant regulations, which will later serve as references and guidelines. Currently, there are obstacles encountered in its implementation. The biggest obstacles lie in regulations and supporting infrastructure for the program. To overcome these obstacles, the Class IIA Madiun Youth Prison has developed a method that will serve as a shared guideline for implementing the rehabilitation of drug inmates.

Abstract

Introduction to the Problem: The repeated return of criminal case files by public prosecutors to investigators remains a procedural problem in Indonesia’s criminal justice system. This practice reflects weak coordination between investigators and prosecutors, differences in evidentiary interpretation, and the absence of clear procedural limitations regarding the return of case files. Such conditions hinder legal certainty, delay criminal proceedings, and negatively affect the protection of human rights. Purpose/Study Objectives: This study aims to analyze the optimization of the public prosecutor’s function as dominus litis in preventing repeated returns of criminal case files within the Indonesian criminal justice system. Design/Methodology/Approach: This research employs a normative legal research method using statutory and conceptual approaches. Legal materials consist of primary, secondary, and tertiary legal sources collected through library research and analyzed qualitatively using a descriptive-analytical method. Findings: The study reveals that the repeated return of criminal case files is caused by weak coordination between investigators and prosecutors, differing interpretations regarding evidentiary standards, limited prosecutorial involvement during investigations, and regulatory gaps within the Indonesian Criminal Procedure Code (KUHAP). The optimization of the prosecutor’s function as dominus litis may be achieved through strengthening prosecutorial authority in supervising investigations, improving institutional coordination from the issuance of the Notice of Commencement of Investigation (SPDP), harmonizing evidentiary standards, reforming criminal procedural law, and implementing integrated digital case administration systems. These measures are expected to increase efficiency, legal certainty, accountability, and public trust within Indonesia’s criminal justice system.

Abstract

Introduction to the Problem: The development of information and communication technology has brought significant changes to journalistic practices in Indonesia, particularly through the utilization of digital media and cyberspace in press activities. On the other hand, such developments have also given rise to various cyber threats against journalists, including account hacking, digital intimidation, doxing, dissemination of personal data, and criminalization through electronic media. These conditions create legal issues concerning the protection of press freedom and the digital security of journalists in carrying out their journalistic functions. Purpose/Study Objectives: This study aims to analyze the forms of legal protection afforded to journalists against cyber threats based on Law Number 40 of 1999 concerning the Press and Law Number 1 of 2024 concerning the Second Amendment to Law Number 11 of 2008 on Electronic Information and Transactions (ITE Law), as well as to examine the legal certainty of journalist protection within the digital sphere. Design/Methodology/Approach: This study employs a normative legal research method using statutory, conceptual, and case approaches. The legal materials consist of primary, secondary, and tertiary legal sources obtained through library research, which are subsequently analyzed qualitatively through methods of legal interpretation. Findings: The results of the study indicate that the Press Law and the ITE Law have normatively provided legal protection for journalists, both through guarantees of press freedom and regulations concerning cybercrime. However, such protection has not yet fully ensured legal certainty, as there remain overlapping regulations and the application of multi-interpretative provisions within the ITE Law that have the potential to criminalize journalists. Therefore, regulatory harmonization and the strengthening of digital security protection for journalists are necessary in order to safeguard press freedom and the protection of human rights in the digital era.

Abstract

Introduction to the Problem: The problem arises from court rulings that disregard the rights of the husband and grant all of the marital property to the heir’s full siblings. This could potentially conflict with Article 852 of the Civil Code and the final draft of the regulations. Purpose/Study Objectives: To analyze the legal certainty regarding the division of inheritance from marital property in cases of marriages between people of different religions, as stipulated in the Civil Code (KUHPerdata), particularly in situations where there are no children and the husband serves as the heir. Design/Methodology/Approach: This study employs a normative legal approach, using both legislative and case-based analysis. The analysis is based on the Supreme Court’s ruling No. 1120 PK/Pdt/2025. Findings: The research findings show that, as a matter of principle, the husband is considered the first in line to inherit property. He also retains the right to his wife’s dowry, even in the absence of any children. Decisions that ignore these rights reflect a disconnect between legal norms and actual judicial practice, thereby creating legal uncertainty. Therefore, it is necessary for judges to apply the provisions of the Civil Code consistently, in order to ensure legal certainty, fairness, and protection of all parties involved in inheritance matters.
