Adversary System in Common Law Countries and Possibility for Implementation in Indonesian Court
This research tries to open the possibility of implementing an adversary system which is very closely related to the common law system in Indonesia, especially concerning the “The Rights of the Accused” in the criminal justice process. This research is carried out normatively by conducting legal studies through literature and legislation. The result of this research is that if the accused declared himself guilty of the crime he committed, this means that the accused will lose his right to be tried and processed fairly trial in the common law system. If a defendant is declared guilty, then the next process is the conviction without trial, in which case there are weaknesses in the rights of the accused that should have been carried out through a jury trial. Is it possible to apply in Indonesian courts? Is it not contrary to the norms contained in the Code of Criminal Procedure (KUHAP), especially regarding the rights of suspects relating to human rights (HAM), such as equal treatment before the law; put forward the presumption of innocence; the right to compensation; right to legal assistance; the defendant's rights before the court; a free, fast and simple trial; and a court that is open to the public. However, if possible in Indonesia to switch to the adversary system, the judge's role can be limited only as a referee to allow the creation of a fair trial. The party in charge of deciding whether or not the defendant is right is the jury

Legal Standing and Authority of the Regional Representative Council in the Indonesia Constitusional System
The Regional Representative Council (DPD) as a regional representative institution is located as a state institution. The existence of the DPD reflects the principle of territorial or regional representation (regional representation). Therefore, as a representative institution, the DPD should ideally have the legislative, supervisory and budgetary functions as well as the House of Representatives (DPR). However, the DPD as a representative institution with these three functions actually has a very weak and soft function. The two chambers of the House of Representatives (DPR and DPD) do not have balanced authority. DPD and DPR are two rooms (houses, chambers) whose authority is not balanced, because it is classified as soft bicameral
Dikotomi Politik Hukum Nasional dengan Politik Hukum Adat di Daerah Perbatasan
The existence of a pluralistic law in the border area causes customary law communities who live and develop in the border area applying variety of laws. The concept of dualism is even deeper in the application of law as a reality that exists in border areas. The position of national law which is side by side with customary law apparently still has a gap which is entered by other countries' laws which are none other than neighboring countries. The existence of this plural law causes the disharmony of the legal regulations applied in the border area. The analysis shows that the dichotomy of regulations often conflicts and differences in the application of the law in each of the legal arrangements. Due to customary politics in the border areas are seeking for the truth in the application of the law. The position of national law does not guarantee the existence of legal arrangements in border areas because customary law in border areas has a strong position. National law is difficult to become a legal basis in border areas. However, the contradictions and differences in these three legal arrangements can actually be synergized, thus, thecontradictions and differences can also form a new law that is dynamic and appropriate, and does not change into a problem in the customary community.Keberadaan hukum yang majemuk di daerah perbatasan menyebabkan masyarakat hukum adat yang hidup dan berkembang di daerah perbatasan menerapkan hukum secara beraneka ragam. Konsep dualisme bahkan lebih dalam penerapan hukum merupakan realita yang ada di daerah perbatasan. Kedudukan hukum nasional yang berkesampingan dengan hukum adat ternyata masih memiliki celah yang dimasuki oleh hukum negara lain yang tidak lain adalah negara tetangga. Keberadaan hukum yang plural ini menyebabkan tidak harmonisnya pengaturan hukum yang diterapkan di daerah perbatasan. Hasil analisis menunjukkan dikotomi peraturan sering terjadi pertentangan dan perbedaan di dalam penerapan hukum dari setiap pengaturan hukum tersebut. Hal ini disebabkan karena politik adat di daerah perbatasan yang saling mencari kebenaran dalam penerapan hukumnya. Kedudukan hukum nasional belum menjamin keberadaan pengaturan hukum yang ada di daerah perbatasan karena hukum adat yang ada di daerah perbatasan memiliki kedudukan yang kuat. Hukum nasional terasa sulit untuk menjadi dasar hukum di daerah perbatasan. Namun, pertentangan dan perbedaan ketiga pengaturan hukum ini sebetulnya bisa disinergikan sehingga dapat membentuk suatu aturan hukum baru yang dinamis dan sesuai, serta tidak menjadi persoalan di dalam persekutuan masyarakat hukum adat

Journalist Competence in Applying the Presumption of Innocence Principle on Press Release
A journalist competence as intended in the Press Council Regulation is interpreted as knowledge capability without affirmation for journalists who have knowledge of certain scientific disciplines. The meaning is all journalists from any discipline may be recognized as journalists who have the competence to apply the presumption of innocence in reporting. This arrangement in journalistic practice, the press often appears' 'judgmental' in the news because the use of the terms is often interpreted the same, even though the law holds very different meanings, such as the suspect is written as the perpetrator, released is written as free, not accepted is written as rejected, sentenced to trial is written as the judge free it. To prevent the violation of the presumption of innocence principle in reporting, the regulation of journalists' competencies must be emphasized from intellectual abilities and general knowledge to legal knowledge. The affirmation is directly correlated with the news object which is in the realm of law as a function of the press that is obliged to respect the presumption of innocence principle
The State of Notary as a Legal Auditor
The existence of legal auditors as a certified profession in carrying out legal audits is essential and strategic in developing a legal compliance system in Indonesia. However, statutory regulations specifically in UUJN (regulation of notary position) does not regulate the prohibition of a dual notary position as a legal auditor. This study adopts an empirical juridical approach which was conducted in the Special Capital Region of Jakarta. The results of the study showed that there were no statutory provisions regarding the ability of a person who had served as a notary to become a legal auditor.

In the case of a notary and a legal auditor, the potential for a conflict of interest is immense. This was based on the consideration a legal auditor which has the duty to examine and/or assess legal issues related to a company, including the validity of authentic deeds made before a notary official
