JUSTICE OF THE SUPREME

PRELIMINARY

In the anniversary of the Supreme Court to - 70, His Excellency Mr. Chief Justice reminded the vision of the Supreme Court of Justice is to make Indonesia as the supreme court. A vision to look far into the future where the Indonesian nation is in desperate need of a judicial body is able to protect and give a sense of justice in accordance with the development of civilization and society.

Judicial great need of a consequence that officers who were in every judiciary in Indonesia under the auspices of the Supreme Court of the Republic of Indonesia should work hard to enforce law and justice that can be perceived by society, as the purpose of the law. It should be recognized that uphold law and justice are like two sides of a coin that often can not be in line and consistent, that is, when preferring to enforce the law then there is a sense of justice is marred, and vice versa, when it emphasizes justice, the rule of law is sacrificed , But of the two, the main thing is the benefits of the law itself, namely the existence of the law will provide benefits to the community which raised the sense of requiring law in society.

On the other hand, the great court vision is not only in the court office buildings are magnificent in every city, for a magnificent building that does not automatically guarantee that the services provided are also comparable to the magnificent building of the office. However, if we look at the regions, particularly in areas far from the centers of power, there are still many buildings courthouse was still less worthy to be called the courthouse and many office buildings court having different shape, so impressive absence uniformity. When people see the physical side office building of the court is not the same between one city to another city, it will be the thought that the service given is definitely not the same, especially when the public will demand justice, it is increasingly making people doubt justice will be given by law enforcement officers at the court office.

In addition, with the advancement of information technology, should be supporting the creation of a judicial great by providing the latest information (updates) concerning everything to do with the activities in the office of the court, be it information the trial, the information procedure for proceedings in court, information decisions, although in Law Number 14 of 2008 on public information in Article 17 governing the exempt information to the public, but at least the availability of real-time information from the office of the court, will give access to people in need.

Time and generation is getting changed, we can no longer as officials court argued that the information is confidential to the public except as provided in Article 17 of Law No. 14 of 2008, even if there are members of the public who do not understand the information technology so it can not extract information from court online, may apply in writing to the chairman of the local court regarding the information he wants. Disclosure of information will encourage the great achievement of the vision of justice in Indonesia.

From the other side, the great judicial apparatus also charges the court acts as a public servant in need of justice with work discipline and the discipline of time. Given the workload of the trial, which primarily occurs in many large cities, making apparatus courts often forget about the completion of handling the case file (minutasi) or frequent delay in notification of the decision to the parties to the dispute in court. Such things would make people skeptical about the court officials, especially if in case handling emerging their hidden costs with various excuses and reasons. His Excellency Mr. Chief Justice of Agungpun already warned such behavior even threatened with will not give mercy to anyone who acts as the court officials and the threats there are two (2) types of administrative threats in the form of dismissal with respect and the threat of criminal prosecution. A warning that can not be underestimated for the entire apparatus of the court, but with the sole purpose of the creation of the great Indonesian justice. Walahualam.
