The rapid advancement of digital technology, particularly Artificial Intelligence (AI), has reshaped various sectors, including the field of law. This study aims to examine the integration of AI in law firms’ operations, focusing on its potential benefits, legal challenges, and ethical implications in the Indonesian legal context. This research employs a qualitative approach through a normative juridical method, supported by literature review and case analysis related to the use of AI in legal practice. Relevant legislation, including Law No. 11 of 2008 on Electronic Information and Transactions, is analyzed to assess the existing regulatory framework. The study reveals that while AI enhances efficiency in tasks such as document analysis, case prediction, and legal drafting, it also raises concerns about algorithm reliability, data bias, and the absence of specific AI-related legal regulations in Indonesia. Law firms must ensure transparency, accountability, and ethical responsibility when adopting AI to align with the principles of justice. Human interaction remains crucial to maintain trust and professional integrity in client services. The research contributes to the ongoing discourse on developing legal and ethical frameworks for AI implementation in the legal sector. It suggests the need for comprehensive regulation and professional guidelines to optimize AI utilization while safeguarding justice and ethical standards. The study is intended for publication in a national academic journal.

Climate-induced migration is becoming an increasingly significant global issue, driven by environmental changes such as rising sea levels, extreme weather events, and resource scarcity. Despite its growing importance, current legal frameworks inadequately address the protection of climate migrants, leaving them vulnerable and without clear legal rights. This research aims to propose an integrated social-environmental justice framework to address the legal accountability for climate-induced migration, focusing on the recognition of migrant rights, state responsibilities, and environmental protection. The study uses a comparative legal analysis to examine legal systems across various countries and incorporates field data from climate-vulnerable coastal communities through interviews, surveys, and legal case reviews. The research finds that the proposed framework enhances migrant recognition and clarifies state responsibilities in 70% of reviewed legal cases, offering a more comprehensive solution compared to traditional environmental and human rights approaches. The framework's integration of legal, social, and environmental elements provides a holistic response to climate migration, emphasizing equity and sustainability. However, challenges such as political resistance, fragmented governance, and limited funding hinder full implementation. The study concludes by recommending that governments and international bodies adopt this framework and strengthen their commitment to legal protections and climate adaptation strategies for displaced populations. Further research should focus on refining legal frameworks, addressing implementation barriers, and expanding the scope of social-environmental justice to better support climate migrants.

This study examines the legal construction of the obligation to prepare  Academic Draft s in the process of forming regional regulations in Indonesia. Academic texts have a strategic role as a scientific and rational basis to ensure that the Regional Regulations produced are in accordance with the needs of the community, based on the principles of good regulation formation, and do not contradict higher legal norms. This study uses a normative juridical method with a statutory approach and conceptual analysis to identify the relevance, implementation, and challenges in the implementation of  Academic Draft  obligations. The results of the study show that the obligation to prepare  Academic Draft s has been regulated in laws and regulations, but its implementation is often faced with various obstacles, such as low technical understanding, limited budget allocation, and lack of expert involvement. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen regulations and increase institutional capacity to ensure a more participatory, transparent, and accountable process for the formation of regional regulations. This research is expected to contribute to the development of policies that support the formation of quality and responsive regional regulations to the needs of the community.

This study evaluates the effectiveness of a hybrid citizen–AI legal monitoring system in enhancing urban environmental governance. The hybrid system integrates citizen-driven reporting platforms with AI-powered legal monitoring tools to address the challenges of weak public oversight in urban environmental management. By implementing the system in three metropolitan areas, the study explores how real-time data collection through citizen reports, combined with AI-driven analysis, can improve the accuracy, speed, and responsiveness of identifying environmental violations. The results showed a 45% improvement in oversight effectiveness, demonstrating the potential of hybrid systems to enhance monitoring capabilities beyond traditional methods. The AI system, capable of analyzing large datasets and providing timely insights, enabled quicker identification and categorization of violations such as pollution and waste management issues. The integration of citizen involvement through digital platforms allowed for more inclusive data collection, enhancing the quality and volume of information available for decision-making. This synergy between human participation and AI-driven analysis improved the speed of response to urban environmental challenges, making the system more adaptive and efficient. However, challenges such as data reliability and variable citizen participation rates were identified, suggesting the need for strategies to encourage consistent engagement and ensure the accuracy of reported data. The study concludes that hybrid citizen–AI systems can significantly improve urban governance by enhancing transparency, accountability, and responsiveness, offering a promising solution for cities seeking to address environmental issues more effectively.

Children who have committed legal violations are inmates at the Class II Special Child Development Institution in Lombok Tengah. During the child rehabilitation process at LPKA Lombok Tengah, some children continue to violate the rules, making the conditions unfavorable. The purpose of this research is to ensure the legal basis for the imposition of sanctions and the enforcement of disciplinary sanctions, as well as the obstacles faced by LPKA Lombok Tengah. The method used in this writing is normative-empirical with a case, legislative, and sociological approach. The results of this study are as follows: First, the legal basis for imposing disciplinary punishment is outlined in the Decree of the Minister of Law and Human Rights Number M.HH-03.OT.02.02 of 2014 concerning guidelines for the treatment of children in LPKA. Second, the light disciplinary sanctions include verbal reprimands, moderate sanctions such as apologies and agreements between the staff and the inmates, and heavy disciplinary sanctions such as cleaning the bathroom and restricting visitation activities. The obstacles encountered include the factor of the inmates being difficult to discipline, the condition of the inmates being unwell when sanctions are to be imposed, and the factor of facilities and infrastructure.

This study aims to examine the illegal land ownership of the Pusong Reservoir in Banda Sakti Subdistrict, Lhokseumawe City by the local community, viewed from the perspective of Islamic law, specifically the concept of milk al-daulah, and national legislation, particularly Law No. 17 of 2019 on Water Resources. The phenomenon of land ownership in the reservoir has resulted in various impacts, including ecosystem damage and the potential for conflicts between the community and the government. This research uses a juridical-sociological approach with a descriptive-analytical qualitative method. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and literature studies. The findings show that the community’s ownership of the reservoir land, which is used for business and residential purposes, is in conflict with the principle of milk al-daulah and Law No. 17 of 2019, which stipulates that water resources are controlled by the state and must be used for public interest. The weak implementation of government oversight in managing this land has led to an imbalance between the interests of the community and the state. This study recommends better management of the reservoir land to ensure ecosystem sustainability and community welfare.  

Drones are a new technology that can pose a threat to the sovereignty of many countries. Therefore, preventive efforts are necessary for a government to safeguard its interests. In this context, Indonesia needs to establish a legal framework from an international legal perspective, supported by national positive law, to mitigate the use of drones. The research, conducted through a normative-judicial analysis approach, concludes that a considerable number of legal instruments are aimed at protecting Indonesia from drone threats. However, Indonesia's military capability is not yet fully equipped to enforce the mandates of these laws. Consequently, the approach that can be taken is to prohibit drones altogether because they violate human rights and harm society.

In implementing the enforcement of criminal acts by children who are in conflict with the law, Children's Criminal Justice System Act regulates that children should be kept as far as possible from the judicial process and punishment for deprivation of liberty. Therefore, there are many choices of forms of punishment in the SPPA Law, one of which is conditional punishment. This research aims to see whether conditional sentences for children in conflict with the law have been provided optimally. This research is normative research in which the data is processed using qualitative descriptive methods to answer the existing problem formulation. The results of this research found that the judge had not maximized the application of Law No. 11 of 2012 concerning the juvenile criminal justice system in decision number 84/pid.sus-anak/2020/pn plg. In decision number 84/pid.sus-anak/2020/pn plg, the judge did not impose a conditional sentence even though conditional punishment is one of the main crimes in the SPPA Law and the defendant meets the requirements to receive it.

Enforcement of criminal law in animal protection in Indonesia is increasingly becoming an important concern in line with increasing public awareness regarding animal rights. Even though Indonesia has a number of laws and regulations that regulate the protection of animals, such as Law no. 18 of 2009 concerning Animal Husbandry and Animal Health, in reality violations of animal rights still often occur, both in the form of physical violence and animal exploitation. This research aims to examine the extent to which criminal law in Indonesia can provide effective protection for animals, as well as the obstacles faced in its implementation. The focus of this research includes analysis of existing legal regulations, including Law no. 41 of 2014 concerning Forestry, as well as an evaluation of the effectiveness of criminal law enforcement in tackling acts of violence against animals. The research method used is a qualitative approach with literature studies and legal analysis to dig deeper into how legal protection for animals is implemented in practice, as well as the obstacles faced by law enforcement officials. It is hoped that this research will provide insight into the importance of stricter and more effective law enforcement, as well as provide recommendations for improving animal protection through policy adjustments and increasing public awareness.

The Marriage Law regulates the minimum age limit for marriage is 19 (nineteen) years, but in practice underage marriages still often occur so that these marriages cannot be registered. Marriage dispensation becomes the legal legitimacy so that underage marriages can be registered in accordance with the provisions of Article 2 paragraph (2) of the Marriage Law. Marriage dispensation is obtained through the courts by involving the application of civil procedural law principles, including the principle of passive judges. This study aims to obtain an overview of the application of the passive judge principle and the limitations of active judges to the application for marriage dispensation at the Soreang Religious Court in relation to civil procedural law in the case of the application for underage marriage dispensation in Decision Number 421/Pdt.P/2023/PA.Sor. The research method and legal writing are carried out using a normative legal approach sourced from primary data and secondary data. Primary data is taken through interviews, then the secondary data used comes from literature studies. Based on the research results, it can be concluded that the application of the passive judge principle in marriage dispensation cases is dynamic and adjusted to the best interests of the child. The active role of the judge in providing advice and conducting in-depth examinations does not conflict with the passive judge principle, but is an effort to ensure a fair decision and protect the rights of the child.

This study explores the effect of the implementation of Good Corporate Governance (GCG) principles on the prevention of corporate crime in Indonesia. GCG, which consists of the principles of transparency, accountability, independence, responsibility, and fairness, plays an important role in preventing abuse of power, manipulation of financial statements, and other criminal offenses. Case studies on PT Asuransi Jiwasraya and PT Garuda Indonesia show how the weak implementation of GCG principles can open opportunities for corporate crime, which harms the state and stakeholders. Using a normative approach and legal analysis, this research highlights weaknesses in internal control, non-compliance with regulations, and limited competence of human resources as factors inhibiting the implementation of GCG. The research offers strategic recommendations to strengthen GCG implementation, such as enhancing ethical culture within the organization, strengthening regulations and sanctions, and providing continuous training for company management. The findings are expected to contribute to the development of better and more effective corporate governance in preventing corporate crime, as well as creating a business environment with integrity and sustainability.

The rapid advancements in automation and artificial intelligence (AI) have significantly transformed various industries in Indonesia. While these technologies enhance efficiency and productivity, they also pose severe challenges to employment, notably the increasing prevalence of layoffs (PHK). This article critically analyzes the legal framework in Indonesia governing worker protection against layoffs caused by automation and AI. It highlights the inadequacies in current regulations, such as the Employment Law and the Job Creation Law, in addressing the unique challenges posed by digital transformation. Using a normative legal approach, the study emphasizes the need for adaptive policies, including reskilling, upskilling, and enhanced social security programs like the Employment Loss Insurance (JKP). Lessons from countries like Germany and Singapore underline the importance of government and industry collaboration in workforce readiness. The findings advocate for a holistic and inclusive policy framework to mitigate automation’s adverse effects while leveraging its potential for sustainable development.

Indonesia, as a country with a pluralistic legal system, faces challenges in harmonizing customary law and state law, particularly in resolving disputes over customary land that involve traditional values of indigenous communities. This study aims to analyze how customary values are integrated with state law through a case study of court decision Number 94/Pdt.G/2022/PN Jap. The research employs a qualitative approach with content analysis techniques applied to court decision documents, supported by relevant literature reviews. The findings reveal that the court in this case not only applied positive legal norms but also considered relevant customary aspects, including the legitimacy of indigenous leaders and the recognition of communal land rights (ulayat). The panel of judges issued a decision that accommodated customary values in accordance with Article 18B paragraph (2) of the 1945 Constitution, while still adhering to the formal procedures of state law. This study identifies challenges in integrating customary law into the national legal system, such as the lack of formal regulations related to customary courts and the limited understanding of legal officers regarding local cultural contexts.

The phenomenon of Indonesian labor migration abroad is an important strategy for improving community welfare and contributing to national economic growth. Every year, thousands of Indonesian migrant workers (TKI) leave for various countries in hopes of finding better job opportunities. However, the reality they face often falls short of expectations, as many migrant workers experience discrimination, exploitation, and violence. Law Number 18 of 2017 on the Protection of Indonesian Migrant Workers (UU PPMI) serves as a legal framework to provide comprehensive protection, yet its implementation still faces significant challenges. This research employs a normative legal method to analyze the effectiveness of UU PPMI in providing legal protection for migrant workers. The analysis reveals that structural, technical, and legal obstacles hinder the effectiveness of protection. Therefore, a comprehensive approach is needed, including strengthening institutions, enhancing human resource capacity, and fostering collaboration among government, private sector, and civil society. This study aims to contribute to improving the conditions of Indonesian migrant workers and promoting more effective protection.

Amanna Gappa is the third Matoa of Wajo. He formulated a maritime law known as Amanna Gappa, which was enacted in 1676. This law discusses the rules for trading and sailing during that time. Three hundred years later, a modern maritime law was established, known as the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS). The research method used is qualitative research utilizing secondary data through literature studies such as documents, articles, reports, scientific journals, and internet sites. The collected data is then analyzed to produce descriptive information presented by the author in the form of sentences and words that support explanations related to the research.The laws within Amanna Gappa's maritime law consist of 21 articles and cover various matters, both technical and non-technical. It outlines efforts to achieve welfare on board ships, detailing the rights and obligations of everyone involved. This is quite similar to UNCLOS; however, its orientation is more towards the state, focusing on how UNCLOS seeks to regulate national welfare at sea. The values that continue to be upheld in current maritime law emphasize that regulations should be made as much as possible for the sake of welfare and justice. Moreover, both ancient and contemporary maritime laws prioritize common interests through deliberation in establishing these rules.
