The Effectiveness Of E-Court In Resolving Disputes Between State Institutions

Abstract

The implementation of e-court as part of judicial digitalization in Indonesia represents a significant effort to enhance the efficiency, transparency and accessibility of court proceedings. However, its application within the Constitutional Court, particularly in resolving disputes between state institutions, raises fundamental questions regarding its effectiveness due to the distinct characteristics of constitutional adjudication. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of e-court in handling disputes between state institutions by employing measurable indicators, namely efficiency, accessibility, transparency, legal certainty and substantive justice. The research uses a normative juridical method with statutory, conceptual and case approaches. The findings reveal that while ecourt improves administrative efficiency and access to judicial services, its effectiveness in constitutional dispute resolution remains limited. This limitation arises from the mismatch between the procedural design of e-court, which is primarily administrative and the complex, deliberative nature of constitutional disputes that require in-depth argumentation and direct judicial interaction. Furthermore, the absence of specific regulations within the Constitutional Court and existing technical constraints further hinder optimal implementation. In conclusion, although e-court contributes to judicial modernization, its effectiveness in handling disputes between state institutions requires regulatory harmonization, institutional adaptation and a redesign of the system to better accommodate the substantive demands of constitutional adjudication.
