Efektivitas Sidang di Luar Gedung dalam Wilayah Yuridiksi Pengadilan Agama Labuha

Abstract

Out-of-court hearings are one of the efforts to bring access to justice closer to the community. This is important, given that there are still many people who find it difficult to access justice in court due to various factors, such as distance, cost and time. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of out-of-house trials within the jurisdiction of the Labuha Religious Court. This study used qualitative research methods. Data were collected through direct observation when an out-of-house hearing took place, interviews with judges, clerks, and parties involved in the hearing, as well as document studies such as court minutes and decisions. The results showed that out-of-house sessions were effective in resolving cases in the jurisdiction of the Labuha Religious Court. The time to resolve cases through out-of-building hearings is faster than in-building hearings. In addition, out-of-building hearings also provide access to justice for people living in remote areas. However, there are still some obstacles such as limited infrastructure and facilities that can affect the effectiveness of trials outside the building.
