A Legal Review of the “First to File” Principle in Indonesia’s Trademark Registration System
This study examines the legal construction, application, and limitations of the First to File principle within Indonesia’s trademark registration system. The research employs a non empirical normative legal method grounded in doctrinal legal inquiry. Legal materials consist of Law Number 20 of 2016 concerning Trademarks and Geographical Indications, Government Regulation Number 22 of 2018 concerning International Trademark Registration under the Madrid Protocol, relevant ministerial regulations, international legal instruments, and scholarly literature on intellectual property law. The analysis applies statutory, conceptual, and doctrinal approaches supported by grammatical, systematic, and teleological interpretation. The findings indicate that the First to File principle functions as the central mechanism for allocating trademark rights and promoting legal certainty through a constitutive registration framework. The study also demonstrates that the principle is not absolute because its operation is constrained by doctrines concerning good faith, protection of well known marks, prior reputation, and judicial intervention in cases involving substantive injustice. The research further identifies the need for stronger substantive examination, improved institutional safeguards, enhanced protection for small business actors, and broader dispute resolution mechanisms. A balanced framework integrating legal certainty and substantive justice is essential for the future development of trademark protection in Indonesia.

An Analysis of Meaning Equivalence in the Translation of English Idioms into Indonesian in the Novel Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone
This study examines meaning equivalence in the translation of English idiomatic expressions into Indonesian in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone. The research focuses on identifying idiomatic expressions, analyzing the translation strategies employed, and evaluating the extent to which meaning equivalence is achieved in the Indonesian version, Harry Potter dan Batu Bertuah. A qualitative descriptive approach was adopted using comparative textual analysis and content analysis. Data were collected through close reading of the source and target texts, followed by the identification and classification of idiomatic expressions and their translations. The findings reveal that translation by paraphrase is the most frequently employed strategy, particularly when direct idiomatic equivalents are unavailable in the target language. Cultural substitution and the use of expressions with similar meaning but dissimilar form are also utilized to maintain communicative effectiveness and cultural acceptability. The results indicate that the translator consistently prioritizes dynamic and pragmatic equivalence, enabling the translated text to preserve meaning, readability, and narrative impact while remaining natural for Indonesian readers.

Issues Regarding the Procedures and Requirements for Filing Lawsuits in Administrative Courts and Their Implications for Legal Certainty
This study examines the legal issues surrounding the procedures and requirements for filing lawsuits before the Indonesian State Administrative Court and analyzes their implications for legal certainty. The research employs a normative juridical method using statutory and conceptual approaches. Primary legal materials consist of legislation governing administrative adjudication, government administration, and electronic court proceedings, while secondary materials include administrative law scholarship and contemporary studies on procedural justice and legal certainty. The analysis reveals that procedural requirements serve an important function in maintaining orderly adjudication and ensuring predictability within administrative litigation. At the same time, several normative ambiguities continue to affect the admissibility of claims, particularly regarding the expanded concept of administrative decisions, the obligation to exhaust administrative remedies, and the application of dismissal mechanisms. These issues often result in procedural barriers that prevent substantive judicial examination. The study further finds that judicial digitalization has strengthened procedural efficiency and accessibility but has also generated new challenges related to technological compliance, procedural fairness, and digital legal certainty. The findings indicate that a coherent interpretative framework and adaptive procedural reform are essential for balancing procedural discipline, effective judicial protection, and substantive justice within the Indonesian administrative court system.

Maqasid Al-Syariah as the Foundation for the Development of Contemporary Islamic Law
This study examines Maqasid Al Shariah as a foundational framework for the development of contemporary Islamic law in response to changing social, economic, institutional, and regulatory realities. Employing a non empirical library research design with a normative conceptual approach, the study analyzes classical and contemporary scholarly works to explore the theoretical foundations, operational functions, and future relevance of maqasid based legal reasoning. The findings indicate that Maqasid Al Shariah has evolved from a doctrinal theory of legal objectives into a comprehensive framework that guides contemporary ijtihad, legal interpretation, and institutional governance. The study demonstrates that maqasid facilitates the adaptation of Islamic law to contemporary issues in family law, Islamic finance, banking governance, economic fatwas, social development, and environmental sustainability while preserving the normative integrity of Shariah principles. The analysis also reveals significant challenges arising from interpretative diversity, legal pluralism, globalization, digital transformation, and regulatory complexity. Despite these challenges, the maqasid approach provides a coherent mechanism for balancing textual authority with contextual realities. The study concludes that Maqasid Al Shariah remains a dynamic and transformative foundation for sustainable Islamic legal reform and contemporary legal development.

Legal Protection For Business License Disputes Under Local Government Policy
This study examines the legal protection framework governing business licensing disputes arising from local government policies within the Indonesian administrative law system. The research employs a normative legal method based on doctrinal and conceptual approaches through the analysis of statutory regulations, legal principles, and administrative law doctrines. The study focuses on the interaction between local government authority, business licensing regulation, administrative disputes, and legal remedies available to affected parties. The findings indicate that the contemporary licensing regime seeks to promote investment efficiency through regulatory simplification and risk based governance while simultaneously generating legal challenges related to authority allocation, spatial planning compliance, environmental approval, administrative discretion, and public interest protection. The analysis further demonstrates that licensing disputes frequently emerge from inconsistencies between regulatory objectives and administrative implementation. Legal protection is provided through preventive and repressive mechanisms, including administrative objections, administrative appeals, and judicial review before the State Administrative Court. The effectiveness of these mechanisms depends on adherence to legality, accountability, proportionality, legal certainty, and the General Principles of Good Governance. Strengthening institutional coordination and enforcement capacity remains essential for ensuring fair and effective administrative justice in business licensing governance.

This study examines Administrative Court Decision Number 16/G/2024/PTUN.JKT concerning a civil service dispute through a normative juridical approach that combines statutory, case based, and conceptual analyses. The research evaluates the legal validity of the contested administrative decision by examining the applicable regulatory framework, the judicial reasoning adopted by the court, and the relevance of the General Principles of Good Governance in administrative adjudication. The findings indicate that the court applied a comprehensive assessment of administrative legality by scrutinizing the conformity of governmental action with statutory requirements, procedural obligations, and governance standards recognized in Indonesian administrative law. The decision affirms the importance of legal certainty, accountability, transparency, and fairness as essential benchmarks for evaluating administrative conduct. The analysis further demonstrates that judicial review serves as an effective mechanism for protecting civil servants from arbitrary personnel actions while reinforcing merit based governance within public administration. The judgment contributes to the development of Indonesian administrative law by strengthening legal protection, promoting responsible administrative decision making, and enhancing institutional commitment to professional and rule based civil service governance.

Insurance Law In Indonesia: Legal Foundations, Principles, And Regulatory Developments
This study examines the legal foundations, doctrinal principles, and regulatory developments of insurance law in Indonesia through a normative juridical approach. The research relies on statutory materials, regulatory instruments, scholarly literature, industry reports, and official documents to evaluate the evolution of insurance governance and its relationship with consumer protection and supervisory mechanisms. The analysis reveals that Indonesian insurance law has undergone significant transformation from a contract oriented framework rooted in the Commercial Code toward a modern regulatory structure characterized by integrated supervision, prudential governance, and enhanced legal accountability. Fundamental insurance principles including insurable interest, utmost good faith, indemnity, subrogation, contribution, and proximate cause remain essential in maintaining contractual balance and ensuring legal certainty in insurance transactions. The study further identifies the growing importance of supervisory institutions, financial soundness requirements, dispute resolution mechanisms, and consumer protection standards in strengthening market integrity. Emerging challenges associated with digital insurance services, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity risks, and disaster risk financing indicate the need for adaptive regulatory strategies. The findings demonstrate that effective insurance governance requires the integration of doctrinal consistency, institutional supervision, and responsive legal reform to support sustainable development and public confidence in the Indonesian insurance sector.

A Legal Analysis of Citizens’ Legal Protection Against Adverse Administrative Decisions from the Perspective of Administrative Courts
The increasing complexity of public administration and the expansion of digital governance have intensified the need for effective legal protection against adverse administrative decisions. This study examines the juridical framework of citizens’ legal protection within the Administrative Court system in Indonesia. The research employs a normative legal method based on a doctrinal approach using statutory, conceptual, and doctrinal analysis. Primary legal materials consist of the 1945 Constitution, the State Administrative Court Law, the Government Administration Law, Government Regulation Number 48 of 2016, and Supreme Court Regulation Number 1 of 2019. These materials are complemented by scholarly literature concerning administrative law, judicial review, and administrative accountability. The findings indicate that legal standing constitutes the principal mechanism enabling citizens to challenge governmental actions before Administrative Courts. Judicial review has evolved beyond formal legality assessment toward broader scrutiny of governmental conduct and administrative accountability. The study also reveals that the effectiveness of legal protection depends not only on judicial accessibility and legality review but also on the implementation of court decisions and institutional compliance by administrative authorities. Administrative Courts therefore function as essential instruments for safeguarding citizens’ rights, maintaining legality, strengthening accountability, and reinforcing the rule of law within contemporary governance.

The Dynamics of Sharia Compliance in Fintech Lending: Between Innovation and the Prohibition of Usury
This study examines the dynamics of Sharia compliance in fintech lending within the context of digital financial innovation and the prohibition of usury. The research employs a non empirical normative legal approach based on the analysis of statutory regulations, Shari'ah standards, fatwas, and scholarly literature relevant to Islamic finance and fintech governance. The analytical framework integrates Islamic legal theory, Sharia compliance principles, and contemporary fintech governance to evaluate the compatibility of digital lending practices with Islamic commercial law. The findings indicate that Sharia fintech lending possesses a strong normative foundation through Qur'anic commercial principles, AAOIFI standards, national legislation, and Sharia regulatory instruments. Nevertheless, challenges remain in regulatory harmonization, governance effectiveness, compliance auditing, contractual standardization, and supervisory mechanisms. The study further identifies the growing relevance of technological innovations such as smart contracts, digital verification systems, open banking, and artificial intelligence based compliance monitoring in strengthening Sharia governance. Evaluated through the perspective of Maqasid al Shariah, these innovations can enhance transparency, accountability, consumer protection, and institutional sustainability. The study proposes an integrated governance model that balances technological advancement with substantive adherence to Islamic legal principles, thereby supporting the long term development of a credible and sustainable Sharia fintech ecosystem.

The Concept of “Regulation by Insurance” from an Indonesian Legal Perspective: A Study on the Effectiveness of Insurance as a Modern Risk Management Tool
This article examines the evolving concept of “regulation by insurance” within the Indonesian legal system, addressing the central problem of whether insurance can function effectively as a modern regulatory instrument beyond its traditional role as a contractual risk transfer mechanism. The study identifies a doctrinal gap in Indonesian law, particularly under Law No. 40 of 2014 on Insurance, which has not explicitly recognized the regulatory capacity of insurance despite its practical influence on behavior through underwriting standards, premium differentiation, and contractual obligations. This research employs a normative legal methodology, incorporating doctrinal and comparative approaches through the analysis of statutory regulations, legal principles, scholarly doctrines, and comparative legal frameworks to construct a comprehensive understanding of insurance as a governance tool. The findings reveal that insurance in Indonesia possesses latent regulatory characteristics that align with global developments, yet remains fragmented and insufficiently articulated within the legal framework. The discussion demonstrates that technological advancements such as insurtech and blockchain, alongside risk management theory and ethical models such as takaful, further reinforce the regulatory potential of insurance while simultaneously exposing normative and institutional limitations. The study concludes that a doctrinal reconstruction is necessary to formally integrate insurance as a hybrid regulatory regime within Indonesian law, thereby enhancing its effectiveness in addressing complex and modern risk environments.

Implementation of Nurses’ Rights in Medical Services at The Dr. Dradjat Prawiranegara Regional General Hospital Based on Law No. 38 of 2014 on Nursing
Dr. Dradjat Prawiranegara Regional General Hospital, as a public healthcare institution, is obligated to deliver high-quality and professional medical services. Law Number 38 of 2014 on Nursing provides nurses with legal rights and protection in performing their duties. However, in practice, these rights have not been optimally implemented, necessitating an evaluation of their enforcement. This study addresses how nurses’ rights are implemented in medical services at Dr. Dradjat Prawiranegara Hospital based on Law Number 38 of 2014, as well as the obstacles and efforts associated with their realization. The research applies the theories of Legal Protection and Legal Certainty. It employs an empirical juridical method with a descriptive qualitative analytical approach. Data sources include primary and secondary data, consisting of primary, secondary, and tertiary legal materials, collected through literature review and field research. The findings indicate that the implementation of nurses’ rights includes legal protection, safe working conditions, and opportunities for professional development. Nonetheless, challenges persist, such as limited resources, high workloads, and insufficient awareness among stakeholders regarding the importance of fulfilling nurses’ rights. Efforts to address these issues involve strengthening internal hospital policies, continuous professional guidance, and consistent legal assistance for nurses.

Legal Analysis of Trademark Protection Against Product Counterfeiting in Indonesia
Legal protection of trademarks constitutes an essential aspect of the Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) regime, aimed at ensuring legal certainty, protecting business actors, and preventing unfair competition. However, in practice, product counterfeiting using trademarks without authorization either identical or substantially similar remains prevalent, causing significant losses to trademark owners and consumers. This study aims to analyze the legal regulation of trademarks in Indonesia, the forms of legal protection against trademark counterfeiting, and the effectiveness of its law enforcement. The research employs a normative juridical method with statutory and conceptual approaches. The results indicate that trademark regulation in Indonesia is comprehensively governed under Law Number 20 of 2016 concerning Trademarks and Geographical Indications, which provides both preventive and repressive legal protection. Preventive protection is implemented through the trademark registration system, while repressive protection is carried out through civil, criminal, and administrative sanctions. Nevertheless, the effectiveness of law enforcement still faces several challenges, including low public legal awareness, weak supervision, and technological developments that facilitate the distribution of counterfeit goods. Therefore, it is necessary to optimize law enforcement and enhance legal awareness to achieve effective trademark protection in Indonesia.

The Impact of Law No. 6 of 2023 on Job Creation on Foreign Investment Policy in Indonesia
This study examines the impact of Law No. 6 of 2023 concerning Job Creation on foreign investment policy in Indonesia through a normative juridical approach. The research employs statutory and conceptual analyses of primary legal materials, including the Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia of 1945, Law No. 25 of 2007 on Investment, and Law No. 6 of 2023, complemented by scholarly literature on investment governance and international investment law. The findings indicate that the Job Creation Law restructures Indonesia’s investment framework by strengthening regulatory coherence, enhancing legal certainty, expanding investment opportunities, and improving investment facilitation mechanisms. The reform contributes to greater regulatory predictability and supports foreign investor confidence through a more integrated investment regime. The analysis further demonstrates that investment liberalization remains subject to constitutional economic principles that preserve state regulatory authority in matters relating to public welfare, environmental sustainability, labor protection, and the development of micro, small, and medium enterprises. The study concludes that the long term effectiveness of Indonesia’s foreign investment policy depends on maintaining a balanced relationship between investment facilitation objectives and regulatory sovereignty within the framework of sustainable national development.

Law Enforcement Against the Distribution of Pirated Digital Books Under Law No. 28 of 2014 on Copyright
The rapid expansion of digital technology has transformed the circulation of literary works, particularly electronic books, while simultaneously intensifying copyright infringement through unauthorized digital reproduction and distribution across online platforms, electronic marketplaces, and decentralized cyber networks. This study examines the legal construction, enforcement mechanisms, and structural obstacles concerning the circulation of pirated digital books under Law Number 28 of 2014 concerning Copyright within Indonesia’s contemporary digital ecosystem. Employing normative-juridical legal research, the study applies statutory, conceptual, and doctrinal approaches through qualitative analysis of legislation, legal doctrines, scholarly literature, and relevant regulatory frameworks governing copyright and electronic systems. The analysis demonstrates that Indonesian copyright law formally provides comprehensive protection for digital books through civil, criminal, and administrative enforcement mechanisms, yet operational effectiveness remains constrained by complaint-based criminal procedures, fragmented intermediary liability standards, technological enforcement limitations, and the normalization of digital piracy within online culture. The study further argues that effective copyright protection in cyberspace requires an integrated cyber-regulatory framework emphasizing preventive governance, intermediary accountability, technological supervision, and strengthened legal consciousness to ensure sustainable protection of intellectual property rights within digitally mediated environments.

An Analysis of Insurance Liability and The Legal Liability of Shipping Companies For Oil Spills at Sea (The Montara Case Study)
The Montara oil spill case that occurred in the Timor Sea in 2009 had environmental, economic and social impacts on Indonesian waters, especially in East Nusa Tenggara. This case raises various issues regarding the legal responsibility of carriers and the role of insurance mechanisms in providing protection against losses due to transboundary marine pollution. This research aims to analyze the legal liability of carriers and its relationship with insurance mechanisms in resolving losses due to oil spills at sea. The research method used is normative juridical with a statutory and case approach. The research results show that the Montara oil spill includes marine pollution due to high-risk activities which give rise to absolute responsibility (strict responsibility) for business actors. The pollution pays principle strengthens the perpetrator's obligation to bear losses through a compensation mechanism that is ideally supported by an environmental insurance scheme or third party liability insurance. The insurance claims mechanism process in the case of countries experiences differences in laws and regulations so that this has an impact on the claims process.

Being Selective and Communicative in Choosing a Partner as the Foundation of a Harmonious Family
Choosing a life partner is a fundamental step in building a harmonious and lasting family. In modern society, the increasing number of domestic conflicts and divorces reflects the importance of individual readiness in selecting the right partner. Therefore, being selective and communicative are essential considerations in the partner-selection process. This study aims to examine the role of selective and communicative attitudes as a foundation for forming a harmonious family. The method used is a literature review with a descriptive-analytical approach, drawing on data from books, academic journals, and other relevant scholarly sources on interpersonal and family relationships. The findings reveal that a selective approach enables individuals to evaluate compatibility in terms of values, character, background, and emotional and social readiness, thereby reducing the risk of future conflicts. Meanwhile, a communicative approach characterized by openness, honesty, and mutual understanding plays a vital role in building trust, strengthening emotional connections, and resolving conflicts constructively. Effective communication also helps partners understand each other more deeply, anticipate potential problems, and identify appropriate solutions. Thus, the integration of selective and communicative attitudes becomes a key foundation for achieving a stable, harmonious, and sustainable family life.

Post-Pandemic Social Resilience: A Qualitative Review of International and National Policy Frameworks
This study examines how post-pandemic social resilience is constructed across international and national policy frameworks using a qualitative interpretive review. Drawing on policy documents and scholarly analyses published between 2020 and 2025, the research applies comparative discourse analysis to identify how resilience is defined, institutionalized, and translated into governance priorities. The findings show that international frameworks frame resilience as systemic transformation linking sustainability, social equity, and institutional learning, whereas national policies tend to operationalize it as administrative stabilization focused on economic recovery and service continuity. The analysis further reveals that policy effectiveness depends on the interaction between governance instruments, social infrastructures, and organizational adaptability, with fragmented approaches often reinforcing existing inequalities. By conceptualizing resilience as a relational governance discourse rather than a measurable endpoint, the study contributes to social development theory and demonstrates the analytical value of policy narrative comparison for understanding post-crisis transformation. The article offers methodological insight for qualitative policy research and highlights the importance of integrated welfare, digital governance, and psychosocial support in shaping inclusive recovery trajectories across diverse institutional contexts and future crisis preparedness agendas globally.

Youth Participation in Digital Democracy: A Narrative Analysis of Global Civic Engagement Reports
The expansion of digital communication infrastructures has transformed democratic participation, positioning youth as central actors in emerging forms of networked civic engagement while simultaneously subjecting their participation to institutional framing and governance narratives. Despite growing scholarly attention to digital citizenship and online activism, limited research has examined how global civic engagement reports construct and legitimize youth participation through narrative structures that shape policy expectations and democratic imaginaries. This study employs a non-empirical qualitative design based on interpretive document analysis and narrative policy analysis, examining transnational civic engagement reports published between 2015 and 2025. Through multi-stage coding that combines narrative structuring, thematic interpretation, and cross-document comparison, the study identifies recurring storylines that position youth as innovators, governance partners, and symbols of democratic renewal, while also revealing narratives of fragility, risk, and institutional control. The findings indicate that global reports function not only as descriptive accounts but also as discursive mechanisms that define the normative boundaries of legitimate participation and influence how digital democracy is conceptualized and operationalized. The study concludes that understanding youth participation in digital democracy requires attention to narrative framing processes that shape democratic meaning, policy priorities, and future institutional expectations, thereby highlighting the analytical importance of narrative approaches in contemporary democracy research.

Education and Human Development: A Conceptual Examination of UNDP and UNESCO Global Reports
This study examines how education is conceptually framed within global human development discourse by analyzing major policy texts produced by UNDP and UNESCO. The research is motivated by the growing prominence of education as a multidimensional driver of social transformation, institutional capacity, and sustainable development, alongside persistent theoretical tensions between human capital and capability-based interpretations of learning. Using a non-empirical qualitative design grounded in conceptual and document-based analysis, the study systematically codes and compares global reports to identify recurring normative assumptions, developmental logics, and epistemic models underlying educational narratives. The findings reveal that global reports consistently position education as a translational institution linking agency, governance, equity, and sustainability, while also embedding hybrid conceptual logics that combine economic productivity, social justice, and institutional resilience. This discursive hybridity both enriches and complicates policy interpretation, shaping how development agendas are localized and operationalized across governance levels. The study concludes that education functions as a central epistemic infrastructure of contemporary human development policy, mediating between global norms and institutional practice, and that conceptual analysis of global reports provides critical insight into the governance dynamics of international education discourse.

Urbanization and Social Structure Transformation in Indonesia: A Critical Review of BPS and UN-Habitat Reports
Rapid urbanization in Indonesia has intensified debates on how spatial expansion reshapes social organization, inequality, and governance capacity, yet institutional reports often present growth as a technical development trajectory rather than a structural social transformation. This study critically examines how urban change is constructed within official narratives produced by Badan Pusat Statistik and UN-Habitat, asking how statistical framing influences interpretations of social structure. Employing a non-empirical qualitative design, the research conducts a critical document-based review using discourse analysis, comparative policy reading, and socio-spatial interpretation of institutional reports published over the last fifteen years. The findings indicate that demographic concentration, housing provision, and infrastructure expansion dominate institutional narratives, while relational dimensions such as social cohesion, informal networks, and distributive inequality remain underrepresented. This imbalance shapes policy discourse by privileging technocratic planning logics and narrowing the conceptualization of urban transformation. The study concludes that urbanization in Indonesia operates not only as a spatial process but also as a knowledge-production regime in which measurement practices influence governance priorities and social outcomes, highlighting the need for more reflexive integration of social theory into urban policy analysis.

Digital Inequality and Social Mobility in Southeast Asia: A Policy-Oriented Analysis Based on World Bank and ITU Reports
Digital transformation across Southeast Asia has expanded connectivity yet produced uneven social outcomes, raising concerns about whether technological progress enhances or constrains social mobility. Persistent disparities in access, digital capability, and governance coordination suggest that infrastructure growth alone cannot ensure equitable participation in emerging digital economies. This study investigates how digital inequality shapes mobility trajectories through a policy-oriented, non-empirical design grounded in secondary analysis of macro-level indicators and institutional reports from international development agencies. The analytical framework integrates multidimensional digital divide theory with comparative policy interpretation to examine interactions between access, capability formation, and governance regimes across ASEAN contexts. The findings indicate that digital inequality functions as a structural filter rather than a temporary developmental gap. Connectivity expansion tends to reproduce existing socio-economic hierarchies when not accompanied by investment in digital education, workforce adaptation, and inclusive governance. Digital capability emerges as the key mediator linking technological access to upward mobility, while coordinated policy environments strengthen the diffusion of opportunity across social groups. The study concludes that effective digital transformation requires integrated strategies combining infrastructure, skills development, and participatory governance to align technological progress with equitable social advancement in Southeast Asia.
