Vol. 1 No. 2 (2026): Journal of Legal Studies
The research articles in this period's issue of the law journal (7 research articles) examine three main pillars: (1) Constitutional Dynamics and Judicial Institutional Reform, which highlights the constitutional normative vacuum in regional head replacements, the determination of a constitutional ceiling for parliamentary thresholds, and the reformulation of selection mechanisms for Constitutional Court justices to ensure judicial independence; (2) Disruption and Reconstruction of State Administrative Law, which analyzes the post-reform abolition of administrative court authority over positive fictitious decisions and the conceptual ambiguity surrounding concrete acts versus factual actions in state administrative disputes; and (3) Business Regulation, Normative Conflicts, and Legal Liability, which focuses on the commercial complexities of lex specialis conflicts within the financial technology services industry and the criminalization of non-performing bank loans from a director's perspective.
The scholarly work in this period is an academic collaboration involving 14 authors from 14 higher education institutions across 8 provinces in Indonesia. This cross-institutional synergy reflects a strategic role in adaptively and equitably responding to contemporary dynamics in constitutional frameworks, public administration reforms, and complex corporate legal responsibilities. This volume is expected to provide a meaningful academic contribution to the advancement of contemporary legal reform in the global era.
