This study examines the application of the ultra petita principle in decisions of the Constitutional Court of the Republic of Indonesia, focusing on the case study of Decision Number 90/PUU-XXI/2023. The ultra petita principle is classically understood as a prohibition for judges to rule beyond what is explicitly requested by the parties to the case. However, in practice, the Constitutional Court often uses this principle flexibly to ensure substantive justice and the effective protection of citizens' constitutional rights. This shows how constitutional adjudication in Indonesia tends to prioritize substantive justice over procedural limitations. This thesis aims to analyze the legal basis used by the Constitutional Court when deciding ultra petita cases, while also examining the resulting legal implications for the administrative system of lawmaking in Indonesia. Using a normative legal approach, this study finds that the Constitutional Court positions itself as the sole interpreter of the constitution with progressive authority. In this sense, the Court's decisions may expand its role beyond the traditional boundaries of judicial authority. However, the Constitutional Court's ultra petita practice has the potential to raise concerns about judicial overreach. Ultra petita decisions not only resolve constitutional disputes but also have the potential to create new legal norms that can directly influence the legislative process and even change the structure of national law. Such outcomes raise the question of how to maintain a balance between judicial activism and legislative supremacy. Therefore, it is crucial to establish clear legal boundaries to ensure the Court remains within the constitutional framework, upholds the principle of checks and balances, and prevents conflicts of authority between branches of state power. Therefore, this research contributes to the academic understanding of the dynamics of the Constitutional Court's authority and the urgency of strengthening the rules of the game in maintaining harmony in the Indonesian state system.

Debt-receivable problems are classic problems in economic activities that if not resolved properly can result in legal uncertainty and losses to the parties involved. One of the legal instruments provided in the Indonesian legal system to resolve these disputes is through the bankruptcy mechanism. This study aims to review the legal provisions regarding bankruptcy as regulated in Law Number 37 of 2004 and evaluate the effectiveness of its implementation as a solution to resolving debt-receivable problems. The method used in this study is the normative legal approach, by reviewing statutory provisions, legal doctrine, and court decisions. The results of the study indicate that although normatively the bankruptcy mechanism has a clear legal structure, its implementation in the field still faces obstacles in terms of process efficiency, protection of creditor and debtor rights, and supervision of curators. Therefore, policy updates and optimization of the function of judicial institutions are needed to increase public trust in this mechanism.

The coaching system for drug convicts is carried out in correctional institutions, where Correctional Institutions are a form of criminal punishment (imprisonment). In the rehabilitation process, victims of narcotics abuse are not objects but subjects. Criminal punishment (punishment) is not merely giving suffering to deter, but an element of guidance and coaching with the aim that lawbreakers can realize their mistakes and not repeat their actions again, and can return to society and carry out their social functions properly. The purpose of this study was to find out the concept of fostering convicts through rehabilitation, Implementation of Rehabilitation of Narcotics Prisoners in Lubuk Pakam Class II B Prison, Effectiveness of implementing Narcotics Rehabilitation in Lubuk pakam Class II B. This research is included in the descriptive research with the type of empirical juridical research using qualitative analysis methods.From the results of the research it is known that the concept of rehabilitation in the process of coaching prisoners is aimed not only at the mentality of prisoners but also treating dependence on narcotics themselves so that prisoners can recover physically and mentally. Implementation of rehabilitation is based on the provisions of Law Number 35 of 2009 concerning Narcotics and several rules for the implementation of rehabilitation, the Implementation of Fehabilitation in the Class IIB Lubuk Pakam Penitentiary includes medical rehabilitation and social rehabilitation. The implementation of medical rehabilitation includes the Health Examination Stage, the Detoxification Stage, the mental and emotional stability stage of the sufferer. While social rehabilitation includes personality development and independence development and the application of medical rehabilitation and social rehabilitation at the Lubuk Pakam Class IIB Penitentiary is quite effective in reducing the repetition rate (recidivist) of convicts who have completed their sentence, convicts who have served a period of detention have recovered from dependence on narcotics, but the environment outside the prison can affect the re-use by inmates.

Optimization of the justification for the establishment of prisoner guidance so far, is based on policies that maintain the types of criminal penalties as regulated in Article 10 of the Criminal Code. Prisoner guidance is one type of sanction in criminal law that is often used as a means to overcome crime problems. The use of prisoner guidance as a means to punish perpetrators of criminal acts began in the late 18th century which was based on the ideology of individualism and the humanitarian movement. Prisoner guidance increasingly plays an important role and shifts the position of the death penalty and corporal punishment which are considered cruel.In general, the image of prison is a very scary place, not getting good food, sleeping on the floor and being bitten by mosquitoes, there is torture and it is very uncomfortable, it is difficult to communicate with the outside world and family, there is no entertainment and suffering and limited in everything. Teguh Prasetyo, explained that prison gives an image to the general public, as a place where criminals are deprived of their freedom and tortured and employed or trained so that they can form good behavior and character after leaving prison. Therefore, the image was changed to prisoner development. The image of prison that gives a scary image to the general public, aims to provide a deterrent element for criminals, so that they become aware and change their evil attitudes and behavior. Based on the background above, the following problem formulation is determined: How to Optimize the Implementation of Prisoner Development in Changing Behavior Towards Inmates?. This research is an empirical legal research, which examines the optimization of the implementation of prisoner guidance in changing the behavior of inmates carried out at the Class III Langkat Youth Penitentiary. The implementation of empirical legal research aims to see the empirical conditions of the optimization of the implementation of prisoner guidance in changing the behavior of inmates at the Class III Langkat Youth Penitentiary, as well as its influence on changes in prisoner behavior.

The school of jurisprudence has a crucial role in the formation of Islamic law, both in the classical and modern eras. In the classical period, schools of thought such as Hanafi, Maliki, Syafi'i, and Hanbali became the main basis for formulating Islamic law through a structured ijtihad methodology. Each school of thought developed its own way of interpreting the Qur'an, Hadith, ijma', and qiyas, which then contributed to the diversity of Islamic law. In the modern era, the role of schools of jurisprudence remains relevant in responding to contemporary legal challenges, especially in economic, social, and technological issues. Islamic law reform in various Muslim countries often refers to the principles of these schools by adapting them to the national legal system. Therefore, the study of schools of jurisprudence not only contributes to the historical development of Islamic law but also serves as a foundation for formulating legal solutions that are adaptive to the dynamics of the times.  

This study explores the integration of salafiyah (traditional Islamic) and modern curricula at Darul Amien Islamic Boarding School in Gembolo, Banyuwangi, in response to the challenges of Islamic education in the modern era.

This integration improves the quality of graduates in both religious and societal competencies.

This study aims to improve the quality of learning at SD Negeri 060915, Medan Sunggal District, through the implementation of a participatory learning approach using Participatory Action Research (PAR). The background of the study is based on the low level of student engagement in classroom activities and the teacher’s reliance on traditional lecture methods, which hinder active student participation. This classroom action research was carried out in two cycles, each consisting of planning, action, observation, and reflection stages. Data were collected through observation, interviews, documentation, and formative assessments. The results showed that the participatory learning approach had a positive impact on increasing student engagement, collaboration in group work, and academic performance, as indicated by an increase in the average student score from 66.4 in the first cycle to 77.2 in the second cycle. Teachers also improved their role as facilitators, and the classroom environment became more interactive and student-centered. The study concludes that the participatory approach is effective in creating an active, collaborative, and meaningful learning environment in elementary education.

The obligation to seek knowledge holds a central position in Islamic law, grounded in strong normative and theological principles. Islam classifies the pursuit of knowledge as fardhu ‘ain (an individual duty) for essential religious and worldly knowledge, and fardhu kifayah (a collective duty) for broader societal needs. This article explores the legal foundations of this obligation in Islamic jurisprudence and examines its relevance in the context of contemporary education. Using a normative-juridical method, this study analyzes primary Islamic sources such as the Qur’an, Hadith, and the views of classical and modern scholars. The findings show that Islam does not treat knowledge merely as a tool for personal development, but as a moral and spiritual responsibility. In modern educational systems, these values remain highly relevant, particularly in addressing ethical decline and the loss of purpose in learning. This article recommends the integration of Islamic legal perspectives on knowledge into educational curricula to help restore the spiritual and moral aims

The utilization of geothermal energy as a renewable energy source is growing in an effort to reduce dependence on fossil energy and its negative impact on the environment. However, the exploitation of this natural resource still contains potential ecological risks if not managed wisely. This article examines the use of geothermal energy through the perspective of the environmental ethics of Meng Zi (Mencius), a classical Confucian philosopher, who emphasized harmony between humans and nature. Meng Zi's ethical approach highlights the importance of virtue, moderation and respect for the natural order in every human activity, including energy management. Through a philosophical-critical study, this article shows that the application of Meng Zi's environmental ethics can provide a moral foundation for sustainable and equitable geothermal exploration policies and practices. Thus, the synergy between modern technology and classical ethical wisdom is key to realizing ecological sustainability and harmony.

This study aims to analyze the criminal law liability of the perpetrators in the case of corruption in the procurement of red onion seeds in Malaka Regency based on four decisions of the Kupang District Court: Decision of the KUPANG District Court Number 39 / Pid.Sus-TPK / 2023 / PN Kpg, Decision of the KUPANG District Court Number 40 / Pid.Sus-TPK / 2023 / PN Kpg, Decision of the KUPANG District Court Number 41 / Pid.Sus-TPK / 2023 / PN Kpg, and Decision of the KUPANG District Court Number 42 / Pid.Sus-TPK / 2023 / PN Kpg. This study uses a normative legal approach supported by empirical data through interviews with advocates, prosecutors, and judges. The results of the study indicate that the elements in Article 3 of Law Number 31 of 1999 in conjunction with Law Number 20 of 2001 has been cumulatively fulfilled in this case, namely the abuse of authority, state financial losses, and benefits for oneself or others. The application of the article to all defendants is considered legally valid, but in practice it does not fully reflect substantive justice because the roles and levels of involvement are not distinguished proportionally. The judge's decision and the prosecutor's indictment are considered consistent in normative aspects,but still leave challenges in terms of assessing the burden of proof and classification of criminal responsibility. This finding recommends the importance of evaluating the criminalization system, strengthening the capacity of procurement officials, and updating policies that distinguish between administrative errors and criminal acts of corruption.

Law Number 31 of 2004 concerning Fisheries as amended by Law Number 45 of 2009 concerning Amendments to Law Number 31 of 2004 concerning Fisheries recognizes corporations as subjects of criminal acts in criminal acts in the fisheries sector, but the corporations are not held criminally responsible.This research is a normative legal research, using a statutory approach and a conceptual approach with literature study techniques or document studies. The processing of legal materials is carried out with several processes, namely the validity of legal materials, classification of legal materials, recording legal materials and analysis of legal materials. Analysis of legal materials is carried out in a normative qualitative juridical manner with descriptive and prescriptive analysis. The results of this study indicate  first, the regulation of corporate criminal liability in the current Fisheries Law still has shortcomings/weaknesses, namely it does not clearly formulate when a corporation is said to have committed a crime and based on the history of the development of corporations as subjects of criminal law, corporate criminal liability in the current Fisheries Law is still at stage II where corporations are recognized as perpetrators of criminal acts, but their criminal liability has not directly affected the corporation and only the corporate administrators are responsible. Second, the regulation of corporate criminal liability in the future can be seen in the Fisheries Bill which has answered the weaknesses/deficiencies in the Fisheries Law and has accommodated corporate criminal liability where corporations can be subject to principal or additional criminal sanctions for the crimes they commit.

This study is motivated by the issue of criminalizing drug couriers, who in judicial practice are often equated with the main perpetrators, even though in reality they occupy a subordinate position in the drug distribution network. The lack of clarity in the differentiation of roles in Law No. 35 of 2009 on Narcotics has led to the application of criminal liability that tends to be formalistic and has the potential to disregard substantive justice. This study aims to analyze the form of criminal liability of Class I drug couriers and assess whether the Pekanbaru District Court Decision Number 119/Pid.Sus/2025/PN Pbr has reflected justice in the imposition of criminal penalties. The research method used is normative juridical with a legislative approach, case approach, and conceptual approach. The results of the study show that the criminal liability imposed on couriers in the verdict is direct as the main perpetrator, without considering the theory of the perpetrator's role, degree of fault, and the defendant's capacity to be held responsible. The judge emphasized the fulfillment of the elements of the act as formulated in Article 114 of Law Number 35 of 2009 concerning Narcotics, without adequate analysis of the mens rea and the factual contribution of the courier in the structure of the crime. Justice in this study is understood as substantive justice, which requires consistency between the punishment, role, and degree of fault of the perpetrator. Proportional punishment is interpreted as the imposition of sanctions that clearly distinguish between couriers as subordinate actors and the main actors who control the narcotics network. This study concludes that the criminal liability of narcotics couriers must be based on individualization of punishment and proportionality so that law enforcement not only fulfills legal certainty but also reflects substantive justice.  

This study examines the application of the hermeneutical approach in Islamic studies from the perspective of contextual Islamic Religious Education (IRE). The problem underlying this research is the dominance of textual and normative learning patterns in Islamic education that are often disconnected from contemporary social and cultural realities. The study aims to describe the hermeneutic concepts of Fazlur Rahman’s “double movement” and Hans-Georg Gadamer’s “fusion of horizons” and to analyze their relevance in developing contextual IRE. This research employs a qualitative library research method by analyzing recent scientific literature (2021–2025) from national and international journals. The findings reveal that hermeneutics provides a methodological and philosophical foundation for transforming IRE from rote-based learning into reflective, dialogical, and contextual learning. This study concludes that hermeneutics can be used as a conceptual and practical framework to strengthen the relevance of Islamic education in addressing modern challenges. However, the study’s limitation lies in its theoretical nature, so further empirical research is recommended to test the effectiveness of hermeneutic-based pedagogical models in classroom settings.

This research examines the relationship between the ability to control the emotions of Sukoharjo Police members and their level of public service orientation. Respondents involved members of the Sukoharjo Police with an age range of 18 to 57 years. The type of research is quantitative. Data was collected through a questionnaire that included sample characteristics based on age. Test data requirements include tests of validity, reliability, normality and classical assumptions. The validity test results show a number of valid questions in the variables of emotional control and public service orientation. The reliability test using Cronbach's Alpha confirms that the two variables are reliable. The normality test shows that the data is normally distributed. Classic assumption tests such as linearity and heteroscedasticity tests provide results that support the validity of regression analysis. The simple linear hypothesis test resulted in a significance value (Sig.) of 0.000 and this is smaller than 0.05. So it can be concluded that emotional control has a significant effect on public service orientation. This shows that emotional control has a significant effect on public service orientation.

The low quality of public services is still a classic problem in Indonesia. Therefore, it is time for the government to implement e-government as an effort to improve services to the community.
