Strategic Policy for The Development of Electronic Judiciary in Indonesia During the Pandemic Period

Abstract

The Electronic judiciary is a policy issued by e-court launching. This was to address global challenges as well as to realize the acceleration of case management. During the pandemic, litigation becomes hampered because it has to reduce physical contact in implementing health protocols. Therefore, the problems of case management that were previously done offline should begin to be diverted by optimizing the function of the e-court. Thus, the implementation of technology information is very important to ensure the court running process. The development of electronic judiciary is carried out by comparing with several countries to become evaluation and reference material. The goal is to make the electronic judiciary more accessible and easier to use by the public. The method used is a qualitative approach with policy conceptual comparison. The result is that the e-court must be able to facilitate up to the administrative process, the trial, until the verdict.

“…In 2018, the Supreme Court began to develop E-court for the first time. The benefit of this e-court is that it can guarantee the ongoing process of handling cases and avoid accumulating cases due to implementing health protocols during the pandemic (Syahr, 2021). Services on e-court include case registration, payment of court fees and court summons for plaintiffs.…”
