REFORMING CIVIL COURT IN INDONESIA: THE DIALECTICS OF PROCEDURAL JUSTICE AND DIGITAL JUSTICE

This study analyzes new patterns that have emerged in civil justice reform in Indonesia. The functional approach, the common adoptedpattern, has shifted to an institutional approach. This shift, in addition to having an impact on the
aspect of judicial governance, also creates dialectics in the form of conceptual tension in understanding justice in the judicial process. This article aims to examine the tension between procedural justice and digital justice. Procedural justice emphasizes the fairness of the process, the participation of the parties, and the legitimacy of the decision. Meanwhile, digital justice is oriented towards
efficiency, transparency, and accessibility through technology. This study uses a juridical-normative research method with secondary data sources in the form of laws, regulations, and legal literature. This study also analyzes the development of e-Court, e-Mediation, and the case tracing information system (SIPP) in Indonesia. This research shows that strengthening the rationality of
digital systems has the potential to clash with the character of procedural justice centered on human experience. This article also contributes to the formulation of the digital procedural justice framework as a theoretical synthesis of the tension between the two concepts. The framework is positioned as an evaluative tool for
assessing technology-based judicial reform that is aligned with the principles of justice, legitimacy, and participation.
