The Court Role in Providing E-court System Education to Community: Post-Enactment of Supreme Court Regulation Number 1 of 2019

Abstract

The judicial system in Indonesia has now begun to adapt to the developments in information and technology to improve court case administration services which are realized through the digitization of court cases or known as the electronic justice system (e-court). E-court is a case processing service. It involves registration, payment of fees, and court summons via electronic media and online. The implementation of e-court in Indonesia is based on supreme court regulation No.1 of 2019 on Electronic case and trial administration in courts.

However, the lack of public understanding of the e-court system becomes an obstacle to implementing an e-court system in Indonesia. This research aims to analyze how the role of the court in socializing the e-court system to the public as an effort to improve case administration services in court. The research employed normative legal research and a literature study approach with the secondary assessment of legal materials and juridical data analysis. The findings revealed that the current courts are still working to improve technology-based court administration services (e-court) to the public by providing explanations and education through the official website of state court accounts spread throughout Indonesia. In addition, the court has also massively socialized the implementation of the e-court system to the public, advocates/lawyers, and court officials via online and offline. Unfortunately, for people who wish to litigate electronically at this time, it can only be done by cooperating with advocates/lawyers who have e-court access.
