Hospitals are high-risk work environments that expose workers to biological, chemical, physical, and psychosocial hazards.  Despite strict regulations on Occupational Safety and Health (OSH), the implementation of regular Medical Check-Ups (MCU) for hospital workers is often considered merely an administrative formality rather than a legal protection instrument. This study aims to analyze the legal urgency of implementing MCU for hospital workers and examine the evidentiary strength of MCU results as a preventive measure against work-related disease claims. This normative juridical research employs statutory and conceptual approaches, analyzing Law No. 17/2023 on Health, Law No. 13/2003 on Manpower, and Ministry of Health regulations on Hospital OSH. Although MCU obligations are legally mandated, their implementation in hospitals remains administrative in nature and suboptimal as legal evidence for establishing causation in occupational disease litigation. MCU documentation serves as critical baseline evidence to prove or refute work-relatedness of health condition. Hospital compliance with MCU standards constitutes not merely a health compliance requirement, but a preventive legal risk management strategy to avoid compensation claims and ensure workers' constitutional rights to a safe work environment. Strengthening internal MCU protocols is essential for minimizing future litigation risks.

Historically, water resource management in Indonesia has faced significant complexities, often dominated by commercialization and investment-oriented policies that threaten the fundamental rights of farmers. The Constitutional Court’s decision to annul the previous Water Resources Law marks a crucial turning point, demanding a comprehensive policy reformulation. This entails a shift from a market-based paradigm to one grounded in human rights and social welfare, reaffirming state sovereignty over water for the prosperity of the people. The urgency of this reformulation is compounded by the imminent threat of climate change, which introduces high uncertainty into the hydrological cycle—manifesting as extreme droughts and floods—thereby directly impacting the agricultural sector. This research aims to formulate a climate-adaptive water resource management policy that secures the priority rights of farmers. Employing a Normative Legal Research Method with Statutory and Conceptual Approaches, the findings present a new, holistic legal and institu-tional framework. This framework centers on two pillars: first, the firm assertion and absolute legal protection of irrigation water allocation for farmers, even during periods of scarcity; and second, the adoption of a Climate-Adaptive Governance Model. This governance model integrates a unified climate monitoring system, resilient water infrastructure, and the empowerment of Water User Associations (P3A) at the grassroots level to independently respond to shifting climate patterns. This reformulation is essential for achieving water management that is just, sustainable, and effective in maintaining national food security

Doctors play a crucial role in determining the quality of healthcare services and in upholding the right to health as guaranteed by the constitution and international human rights frameworks. Despite this essential role, medical practice continues to encounter significant challenges, including disparities in medical education quality, inadequate competency assessment mechanisms, and limited integration of professional ethics, discipline, and scientific standards within the health legal system. These issues create risks to patient safety and undermine public trust in medical services. This research analyzes the urgency of health law reform to ensure physician competence and proposes an integration model that unites ethics, discipline, and scientific foundations as the core pillars for equitable and welfare-oriented medical professional governance. Using a normative legal research method, this study adopts legislative, conceptual, and comparative approaches. Primary and secondary legal materials are examined qualitatively through doctrinal studies, normative analysis, and comparisons with governance practices of the medical profession in other countries. The study finds that health law reform should prioritize strengthening regulations on competency standards, transparent certification and periodic recertification systems, as well as integrated professional oversight that aligns ethics, discipline, and legal accountability. The proposed integration model serves as a framework to ensure that every physician maintains measurable competence, adheres to professional ethics, and upholds clear legal responsibilities in clinical practice. Reforming health law through such integration is a strategic step to enhance medical service quality, reinforce patient protection, and advance global justice and welfare.

The dynamics of the positions of DPR members cannot be separated from the political activities of lame ducks. However, the lame duck era became problematic because the DPR's legislative activity suddenly increased rapidly towards the end of its term. This increase was accompanied by the controversial passing of a number of bills. This study will examine the urgency of the need for change and the formation of new laws during the lame duck era and the dynamics of the legislative process during the lame duck era of political leadership in Indonesia, using doctrinal research with a legislative and conceptual approach. Based on the research results, it is known that changes and the formation of new laws during the lame duck era lack urgency but will have a negative impact on the quality of legislation and public trust in the government. The dynamics of the legislative process during the lame duck era of political leadership in Indonesia can be reflected in the formation of the fourth revision of the Constitutional Court Bill and the Law on State Ministries. Furthermore, since the first level of deliberation, the process has been closed and rushed without significant public participation. Moreover, Indonesia is currently in a transitional position towards a new government. Therefore, no new regulations should be enacted during this transitional period, as the drafting of the Constitutional Court Bill fails to meet the philosophical, sociological, and legal requirements. Furthermore, the enactment of the State Ministry Law has also sparked controversy, ranging from its substance to its procedural basis.

A constitutional offense constitutes a violation of the fundamental norms enshrined in the constitution, committed by public officials or state institutions. Such violations are not only political in nature but also carry juridical dimensions closely related to criminal law. This article aims to examine the existence and urgency of regulating constitutional offenses from two main perspectives: constitutional law and criminal law. The research employs a normative juridical approach, emphasizing conceptual analysis and relevant legal regulations. This study also highlights the necessity of integrating constitutional mechanisms with criminal law enforcement to establish a system of accountability that is fair, proportional, and upholds the rule of law. Harmonizing these two areas of law is crucial to preserving the supremacy of the constitution in the practice of state governance.

Indonesia possesses vast forest areas with great potential. On the other hand, before the establishment of the Indonesian state, indigenous communities already exercised control over forests in the Indonesian territory based on customary rights. Therefore, the existence and customary rights of indigenous communities over forests are recognized in the Constitution. However, in reality, there are still many indigenous communities that their rights to the forests they have managed for generations have not been fully acknowledged, one of them is Cireundeu indigenous community. The lack of recognition causes these communities to face issues related to their customary rights over the forests.In fact, the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia actually guarantees the rights of indigenous peoples regarding their forest. One way to realize that rights is by declarating customary forests for the indigenous communities of Cireundeu. This research examines the importance of the declaration of customary forests for the Cireundeu Indigenous Community in light of the rights of indigenous communities guaranteed by the Constitution. This research is a normative legal study. The approaches used are the statutory approach and the conceptual approach. The results of this research indicate that the declaration of customary forests for the indigenous communities of Cireundeu is crucial to ensure their constitutional rights to be recognized and respected, along with their traditional rights, to achieve well-being, particularly in terms of food security, to protect their cultural identity, and to safeguard a healthy and sustainable environment.

The government of a country which has the power to regulate people's lives does not act arbitrarily, there is a regulatory system that regulates it. The control system describes a hierarchy or ranking from the highest level of rules to the lowest level of rules. The highest level of rules in a country is called the constitution. For this reason, it is necessary to strengthen knowledge about the concept and urgency of this institution in national and state life. The research method used was a literature review. By collecting library data and information by exploring knowledge or knowledge from sources such as books, journals, written works, lecture notes and several other sources that are related to the research object. The research results show that the Constitution is the implementation of legal rules in the relationship between society and government. Constitutionalism creates a situation that can increase feelings of security due to restrictions on previously established government authority. There are three views on the role of the constitution in national and state life, namely: The first view assumes that every country has a constitution, but the constitution should not be seen as everything. The second view assumes that the constitution is nothing more than the basic rules of the state in administering the state, and that the most important thing for the state is honest, authoritative and law-abiding state administration. The third view assumes that the constitution does not play a significant role in state life.
