<![CDATA[The digitalization of land administration through the implementation of electronic land certificates constitutes an integral part of public service modernization and bureaucratic reform in the land sector. This policy aims to enhance efficiency, transparency, and legal certainty in land registration, while simultaneously responding to the high incidence of agrarian conflicts in Indonesia. This study employs a library research method by examining statutory regulations, legal doctrines, and relevant literature to analyze the legitimacy and legal certainty of electronic land certificates. The findings indicate that, from a normative perspective, electronic land certificates have obtained legal recognition as electronic documents and valid legal evidence, and provide administrative certainty through electronic systems and electronic signatures. Nevertheless, substantive legal certainty has not been fully ensured, as the foundation of Indonesian land law continues to adhere to a negative publication system and the regulation of electronic land certificates remains at the level of ministerial regulations. Furthermore, the legitimacy of electronic land certificates is strongly influenced by system reliability, data security, and the accuracy of issuance and media conversion procedures. Therefore, strengthening the regulatory framework, enhancing data security and system integration, and implementing more comprehensive verification mechanisms are necessary to ensure legal certainity and gaining broad acceptance within society.]]>

<![CDATA[The enactment of Law Number 1 of 2023 on the Indonesian Criminal Code (the National Criminal Code) marks a fundamental shift from a colonial criminal law framework toward a national legal system grounded in substantive justice and the protection of human rights. Nevertheless, at the practical level, the implementation of these progressive norms is frequently constrained by a gap between law in books and law in action. This study examines the termination of prosecution in the Hogi Minaya case by the Sleman District Prosecutor’s Office as a critical intersection of prosecutorial discretion, socio-political pressure, and institutional risk management. Employing an interdisciplinary approach that integrates responsive criminal law theory and public risk management, the study reveals a significant implementation gap at the operational level of law enforcement agencies. The findings indicate that law enforcement authorities tend to adopt a defensive law enforcement approach to mitigate procedural accountability risks, which in turn leads to the marginalization of justificatory grounds under Article 34 of the National Criminal Code until legislative intervention occurs. This research proposes a new framework for understanding prosecutorial discretion not merely as a technical legal instrument, but as a form of strategic risk response aimed at preserving the legitimacy of the criminal justice system.]]>

<![CDATA[This research analyzes the forms of notary's civil liability for negligence in making authentic deeds and the forms of legal protection provided to notaries. The background of this research is the increasing number of cases of authority abuse by notaries resulting in losses to the parties and third parties, as well as the imbalance between the idealism of the notary position as an independent public official and the reality of practice in society. The research problems formulated are: (1) what are the forms of notary's civil liability in making authentic deeds; and (2) what are the forms of legal protection for notaries. The method used is normative juridical with a statutory approach examining the Indonesian Civil Code and the Notary Office Law, as well as a case approach analyzing the West Java High Court Decision Number 09/PDT/2017/PT.BDG and the Supreme Court Decision Number 3121 K/Pdt/2018. The results show that notary's civil liability stems from their attributive authority and is based on unlawful acts (Article 1365 of the Indonesian Civil Code), which may include joint and several liability for material and immaterial compensation, deed cancellation, payment of dwangsom, and degradation of authentic deed's evidentiary power to that of a private deed (Article 1869 of the Indonesian Civil Code). This liability is personal and ongoing, not expiring even when the notary's position ends. As a counterbalance, notaries receive legal protection through the right to refuse testimony, internal professional forums (Supervisory Assembly and Notary Honor Council), the right to refuse making deeds, treatment as expert witnesses in court, and cultural protection in the form of a legal culture that respects the independence of the notary position. The Indonesian legal system has created a balance between accountability and professional protection for notaries.]]>

<![CDATA[This article analyzes the legal and institutional implications of the 30 percent cap on regional employee spending in Law Number 1 of 2022 concerning Financial Relations between the Central Government and Regional Governments. This policy was originally formulated to improve the quality of regional spending, expand the fiscal space for public services, and reduce the tendency for the Regional Budget (APBD) to be absorbed by bureaucratic costs. However, at the implementation level, the cap, read narrowly as a numerical target, can create tensions with the legal obligations of regional governments as employers, particularly in fulfilling the financial rights of state civil servants, including Government Employees with Employment Contracts. Using a normative juridical approach enriched by document studies and case illustrations of complaints from PPPK (Regional Employee Compensation Officers) in Tarakan City, this article demonstrates that late payment of Employee Income Supplements is not merely an administrative issue but can develop into a public service risk, accrual accounting risk, audit risk, and risk to the legitimacy of regional government. The study's findings emphasize the need for an adaptive implementation model: employee spending control remains in place, but must be accompanied by ASN needs planning, data validation, obligation recognition, and service performance measurement. This article recommends that the 30 percent limit not be used as an excuse to delay the rights of civil servants, but rather be positioned as an entry point for organizational reform, performance-based remuneration, and strengthening regional fiscal accountability.]]>

<![CDATA[In Indonesia’s agrarian legal system, every transfer of land rights must be registered to ensure legal certainty and protection. However, private land sale transactions conducted without the involvement of a Land Deed Official (PPAT) remain common. This study analyzes the legal validity of such transactions, judicial considerations in related disputes, and their implications for land administration. Using a normative juridical method with statutory and case approaches, this research examines Decision Number 132/Pdt.G/2025/PN.Srg. The findings show that private land sales are substantively valid if they meet the requirements of Article 1320 of the Indonesian Civil Code. Nevertheless, they lack formal administrative validity because they are not supported by an authentic PPAT deed and therefore cannot serve as a basis for registering the transfer of land rights. In the examined case, the court applied a substantive justice approach by considering the purchaser’s good faith, long-term possession of the land, and supporting evidence. As a result, the court decision functioned as a legal substitute for the sale and purchase deed, enabling the transfer of the land certificate. This study highlights the important role of courts in bridging the gap between formal legal requirements and social realities while promoting legal certainty and justice in land administration.]]>
