that give substance to constitutional ideals. This article interrogates the extent to which participation moves beyond symbolic consultation to become a substantive mechanism that embodies constitutionalism in practice. The central research question is how can meaningful public participation be conceptualized and operationalized as the essence of constitutionalism in legislative processes? It examines constitutional provisions, statutory frameworks, and judicial interpretations in selected jurisdictions. The analysis is enriched by theoretical frameworks of deliberative democracy and participatory constitutionalism, which highlight the normative value of inclusivity, transparency, and accountability in law making. The article concludes that embedding meaningful public participation transforms law-making from a formal exercise of authority into a constitutional practice that legitimizes governance, strengthens democracy.
Abstract:Advances in information and communication technology have spurred substantial changes in legal transaction procedures in Indonesia, primarily through the utilization of electronic agreements. Agreements that were previously…
sly made in traditional paper formats are now frequently conducted digitally, raising legal concerns regarding their legality, validity, evidence, and legal protection for the involved parties, particularly consumers. Although electronic agreements are normatively recognized in the Civil Code (KUHP) and the Law on Electronic Information and Transactions, practical implementation issues persist, leading to legal uncertainty. This research employs a normative legal methodology utilizing statutory, conceptual, and comparative approaches. Data was obtained through a literature review of primary, secondary, and tertiary legal sources related to electronic agreements and civil legal protection. Qualitative descriptive analysis was conducted to investigate the legal status of electronic agreements and the legal protection available for the parties within the Indonesian legal framework. The discussion results indicate that electronic agreements possess legal validity and binding force equivalent to traditional agreements, provided they meet the criteria for a valid agreement as outlined in Article 1320 of the Civil Code and the provisions of the Information Technology Law. Legal protection in electronic agreements encompasses legal certainty, the recognition of electronic document and signature evidence, and consumer protection against detrimental standard clauses. Nevertheless, challenges remain in establishing party identification, ensuring the integrity of digital contracts, and addressing power imbalances between commercial entities and consumers. This study concludes that while electronic agreements are legally recognized under Indonesian civil law, enhancing legal protection requires strengthened regulations, consistent law enforcement, and improved legal and digital literacy among the public to ensure secure, fair, and equitable electronic transactions.

s of the corrected deed copies and the forms of Notaries' responsibility for errors that occur. The research method used is normative juridical legal research with legislative and conceptual approaches, through descriptive qualitative analysis of primary and secondary legal materials. Research findings indicate that corrections to copies of deeds remain valid and equivalent to the deed minutes as long as the errors are administrative in nature and the corrections are made in accordance with regulations, so they do not alter the substance of the deed. However, if corrections are made not in accordance with the UUJN procedures or result in substantial differences with the minutes, then the copy of the deed may be downgraded to a private deed and categorized as a legally defective deed. Notaries are liable in civil, administrative, criminal, and ethical terms, because such negligence constitutes an unlawful act under the concept of liability. In conclusion, corrections to deed copies remain valid as long as they do not change the substance and are carried out according to procedure, while Notaries are obliged to bear legal responsibility for any typing or writing errors arising from their negligence.
Abstract:The advancement of digital technology has brought significant changes to the legal system, particularly in the use of electronic evidence as a means of proof in court. However, the validity of digital forensic evidence is…
s often questioned due to various technical, procedural, and legal challenges. This study aims to analyze the factors contributing to the failure of digital forensic evidence in legal proceedings and to formulate recommendations for improving its validity. The method used is a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) by examining various academic sources that discuss issues of digital evidence validity, forensic standards, and emerging legal challenges. The results of the study indicate that the failure of digital evidence generally stems from non-compliance in the processes of data collection and preservation with chain of custody standards, insufficient competence of law enforcement officers in digital technical aspects, and conflicts between legal requirements and data privacy regulations, such as the GDPR and CCPA. The case study of online gambling 2020, at the South Jakarta District Court confirms that the absence of forensic verification and chain of custody documentation caused the digital evidence to lose its probative value. Therefore, it is necessary to establish standardized forensic procedures, provide training and certification for law enforcement officials and forensic experts, and develop national guidelines for managing digital evidence aligned with international standards. This research is expected to contribute to strengthening the integrity and validity of digital evidence, thereby enhancing the enforcement of justice in the digital era.

ing of Article 29 paragraph (1) of the Marriage Law is interpreted as long as the parties are bound. The agreement of both parties can submit a written agreement that is accepted by the contract drafter or notary. The Judge's opinion that the relevant application is stated in the Applicant's Marriage Agreement and the legal issues are also acceptable. The legal analysis of the permissibility of the marriage contract arises from the perspective of the law of the contract that the legal provisions of the marriage contract also bind third parties, so that the marriage contract must be registered with the Civil Service Secretariat or the Ministry of Religion. Because the MK decision as it is does not mean anything about registration, whether registration must be carried out immediately or wait for further registration/registration laws. Therefore, the legal consequences of a marriage contract can create legal guarantees for others.

ei Tuan. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan deskriptif kualitatif dengan teknik pengumpulan data melalui observasi, wawancara, dan dokumentasi. Edukasi sederhana dilakukan secara langsung kepada masyarakat melalui pendekatan personal, sedangkan aksi bersih lingkungan dilakukan bersama masyarakat di kawasan bantaran sungai. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa edukasi sederhana memberikan pengaruh positif terhadap peningkatan pemahaman masyarakat mengenai dampak sampah terhadap lingkungan dan kesehatan.

kesadaran masyarakat terhadap pengelolaan sampah melalui edukasi sederhana. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah deskriptif dengan pendekatan kualitatif. Pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui observasi, wawancara, dokumentasi, serta pelaksanaan edukasi dan aksi bersih lingkungan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kesadaran masyarakat terhadap pengelolaan sampah masih tergolong rendah karena masih adanya kebiasaan membuang sampah ke sungai. Faktor penyebabnya meliputi kurangnya pengetahuan, rendahnya kepedulian lingkungan, dan minimnya edukasi. Pelaksanaan edukasi sederhana melalui sosialisasi, penyuluhan, dan gotong royong mampu meningkatkan pemahaman serta partisipasi masyarakat dalam menjaga kebersihan lingkungan. Edukasi sederhana juga mendorong perubahan perilaku masyarakat menjadi lebih peduli terhadap kelestarian sungai dan pengelolaan sampah yang berkelanjutan.
