CHALLENGES OF E-COURT IMPLEMENTATION IN STATE ADMINISTRATIVE CASES: A REVIEW OF REGULATIONS AND PRACTICE IN THE FIELD

Abstract

P The implementation of the e-Court system in State Administration cases is a strategic step in the context of modernizing the judicial system in Indonesia. Through regulations such as PERMA No. 3 of 2018 and PERMA No. 1 of 2019, the Supreme Court encourages the digitization of administrative and trial processes to create a simple, fast, transparent, and low-cost judiciary. However, its implementation in various State Administrative Courts has not been optimal. Technical challenges, including inadequate infrastructure, limited human resources, and digital literacy gaps, continue to be significant obstacles. In addition, normative constraints, such as e-litigation procedures that rely on the parties' consent, contribute to the complexity of their implementation. This article employs an empirical juridical approach to assess the effectiveness of applicable regulations and their practical implementation in the field. The study's results suggest that regulatory harmonization, technical capacity building, and ongoing education are necessary to ensure that e-Court is an effective solution for administrative justice reform in Indonesia.
