Abstract

This study investigates the role of judicial review as a pivotal instrument upholding justice and transparency in the Indonesian judicial system. Despite its intricate processes, judicial review serves as a means for disputing parties to assert their rights, ensuring that court decisions are grounded in truth and fairness. However, the system's flexibility, particularly concerning the timeframe for filing judicial review, raises concerns about its effectiveness and efficiency. Ethical considerations regarding eligible parties' rights to file judicial review underscore the importance of preserving justice and human rights within the judicial system. Using a normative and juridical approach with descriptive analysis, the research explores the legal framework governing judicial review in the context of civil cases in Indonesia. Detailed scrutiny of the filing and examination processes, including formal aspects and supplementary mechanisms, reveals that the civil judicial review system provides a legal foundation for involved parties. Nonetheless, the prolonged timeframe and procedural complexities suggest a need for improved legal clarity and effectiveness. In conclusion, the study highlights the urgency of clarifying regulations related to the deadline for submitting judicial review case files and the potential benefits of shortening this timeframe as a practical incentive. The research's implications offer new perspectives on challenges and potential enhancements within the civil judicial review system in Indonesia.
