Implementation of Electronic Court Administration and Trials (E-Litigation) at the Giri Menang Religious Court

Abstract

The administration of justice and electronic trials are a series of processes for examining and adjudicating cases by courts that are carried out with the support of information and communication technology. The presence of electronic administration and trial services in the Religious Courts is based on the applicable procedural law by utilizing advances in information technology to support the judiciary's duties in upholding law and justice based on simple, fast, and low cost services to litigants seeking justice. Electronic administration and trial is a centralized system, meaning that the application is located in the Data Center of the Supreme Court of Indonesia which is integrated with the Case Tracking Information System (SIPP) at the Court of First Instance, this is called the e-Court application. More specifically, electronic trial is a continuation of the stages of electronic court administration that applies to civil, religious civil, military and state administrative cases. Electronic trial or e-litigation is the implementation of Supreme Court Regulation Number 7 of 2022 concerning Amendments to Supreme Court Regulation Number 1 of 2019 concerning Administration and Electronic Court Proceedings. The presence of e-Litigation has opened up and expanded the practice of electronic justice in Indonesia. The implementation of trials at the Giri Menang Religious Court is still not effective. This condition is in the registration of civil cases through the electronic system, there are several obstacles in the implementation of judicial administration and electronic trials, including calls that are still not delivered, the parties still lack mastery of information technology, the application often crashes, and the implementation of the application is not optimal which can cause the case not to proceed to the next stage.
