Abstract

Land registration is a series of continuous governmental activities, encompassing the collection and maintenance of physical and juridical data, as well as the issuance of proof of land rights and the recording of other rights attached thereto. The purpose of land registration is to provide legal certainty and protection through the issuance of certificates as valid evidence. The Land Deed Official (PPAT) is authorized to draw up land deeds as the basis for the issuance of certificates, thus playing an essential role in ensuring the validity and security of transactions. In order to modernize public services and support national progress in the land sector, the Ministry of Agrarian Affairs and Spatial Planning/National Land Agency (ATR/BPN) has implemented a policy on the issuance of electronic land certificates.Based on this background, the formulation of the problems in this research is as follows: first, how is the role of the Land Deed Official (PPAT) in maintaining the validity of land certificate data within the electronic land service system; and second, what are the authority and responsibilities of the Land Deed Official (PPAT) in the process of electronic land rights services in accordance with the applicable regulations. This research employs a normative legal research method using statutory, conceptual, and historical approaches. The legal materials consist of primary legal materials in the form of laws and regulations related to land certificate registration and Land Deed Officials, secondary legal materials in the form of legal literature and previous research, and tertiary legal materials as supporting sources. The analysis is conducted qualitatively through interpretation and legal construction of statutory regulations and relevant doctrines. The results of this study affirm that the Land Deed Official (PPAT) possesses juridical authority to draw up authentic deeds related to the registration of electronic land certificates. The Land Deed Official (PPAT) ensures the security and transparency of the process, thereby reducing land disputes. The Land Deed Official (PPAT) is responsible for ensuring the validity of data through the integrated system of the Ministry of Agrarian Affairs and Spatial Planning/National Land Agency (ATR/BPN) by requiring the submission of electronic documents.

Abstract

This study examines the role of the Legal Aid Institute (LBH) in Medan in providing free legal services to low-income communities. This service aligns with Law Number 16 of 2011 concerning Legal Aid, which emphasizes the importance of access to justice for those who utilize these services. However, the lack of public understanding and information about LBH is a major obstacle. The approach used in this study is a normative juridical approach coupled with an empirical approach, which includes regulatory analysis and interviews with various stakeholders. The results of this study indicate that LBH in Medan plays a crucial role in supporting the community through both litigation and non- litigation processes. Some challenges faced include limited workforce, low public awareness, and inadequate government support. Therefore, collaboration between the government, the community, and LBH is crucial to improve the effectiveness of free services for communities in need.

Abstract

This study examines the conflict between state law and Dayak customary law regarding underage marriage practices. Using a legal pluralism framework and a socio-legal approach, this study analyses the customary rationality that legitimises these practices and their impact on human rights, particularly for women. The method used is empirical legal research, which fundamentally examines law in its social context. This choice is based on the research objective to understand how state law, particularly the Marriage Law, interacts and often conflicts with Dayak customary law that is alive and practised by the community. The results of this study show that customary marriage, driven by socio-economic factors and efforts to avoid communal sanctions, creates legal dualism that hinders children's access to fundamental rights to education and health. This study concludes that repressive law enforcement is ineffective and recommends an accommodative protection model.

Abstract

This study examines law enforcement practices or state responses to the crime of insulting the government and how this principle of ultimum remedium works in law enforcement of the crime of insulting the government in Indonesia. Through comparative study methods with countries outside Indonesia, literature studies, and interviews with law enforcement officials to see their law enforcement practices from the perspective of law enforcement. The results of the study show that although the 2023 Criminal Code has regulated insults against the government as an absolute complaint, the norm still leaves room for multiple interpretations between criticism and insults. Law enforcement practices in Indonesia show a tendency to use criminal law as the primary instrument (primum remedium), although normatively recognizing ultimum remedium so that clearer limits, strengthening non-criminal mechanisms, and procedural safeguards are needed to be in line with freedom of expression in a democratic country. This study aims to find out the practice of law enforcement and how this principle of ultimum remedium is present in law enforcement.

Abstract

This article examines the legal framework and law enforcement mechanisms addressing violations of exclusive Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) lanes, with a primary focus on the TransJakarta system in Indonesia and a comparative perspective with practices in Minneapolis and Austin, United States. The misuse of dedicated BRT lanes by unauthorized vehicles remains a persistent urban transport problem that undermines service efficiency, travel time reliability, and public trust in mass transportation systems. Despite the existence of clear legal norms, weak compliance and inconsistent enforcement continue to challenge the effectiveness of BRT operations. This research applies a normative juridical method using statutory and comparative approaches. Primary legal materials include national traffic and transportation laws, regional regulations of the Jakarta Provincial Government, and municipal ordinances in selected U.S. cities. Secondary legal materials consist of academic journals, policy reports, and official government publications related to public transportation and traffic law enforcement. The findings indicate that Indonesia relies heavily on a centralized regulatory framework supported by police enforcement and electronic traffic law enforcement (ETLE), while enforcement consistency and technological coverage remain limited. In contrast, cities in the United States emphasize localized regulation, automated enforcement systems, and administrative sanctions designed to create a deterrent effect. This study concludes that strengthening inter-agency coordination, expanding evidence-based automated enforcement, harmonizing sanctions between national and local regulations, and enhancing public legal awareness are essential to improving compliance and ensuring the sustainability of BRT systems as a backbone of urban mobility.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the criminal liability of Land Deed Officials (PPAT) in the fabrication of land documents as well as the supervision and prevention efforts based on the West Jakarta District Court Decision Number 248/Pid.B/2022. The issues studied include the form of criminal liability of PPAT involved in falsification or manipulation of land documents and the effectiveness of the supervision mechanism by the Ministry of Agrarian Affairs and Spatial Planning/National Land Agency. The research method used is normative legal research with a statutory approach and a case approach, and analyzed qualitatively. The results of the study indicate that PPAT can be held criminally responsible if proven to have intentionally participated in the act of authentic deeds. In addition, administrative supervision of PPAT still faces various obstacles, so it is necessary to strengthen the supervision system, increase professionalism, and enforce strict sanctions to prevent the recurrence of the practice of fabricating land documents.
