Peran Digitalisasi Peradilan Perdata dalam Meningkatkan Akses Terhadap Keadilan di Indonesia

The Role of Civil Court Digitalization in Enhancing Access to Justice in Indonesia

Abstract

This study aims to examine the role of civil court digitalization in enhancing access to justice in Indonesia and to identify the obstacles encountered in implementing this digitalization to achieve such access. The ultimate goal is to ensure that all members of Indonesian society can access justice without exception or hindrance. This research is a library-based study utilizing data from books, legislation, articles, and journals. Data collection involved gathering ideas, theories, and concepts from various literature sources, focusing on a comparative analysis of legal principles, statutory provisions, and relevant laws. The study employs the statute approach, the conceptual approach, and the sociological approach. The findings indicate that the digitalization of civil courts plays a crucial role in improving access to justice and serves as a vital instrument for expanding such access across Indonesia. However, the digitalization process faces various challenges—ranging from regulatory issues, technological infrastructure, and human resource quality to digital literacy and disparities in internet access, particularly in remote areas. Consequently, the utilization of electronic court services to realize access to justice that is fast, easy, simple, and affordable remains suboptimal.
