Abstract

A professional judge’s primary responsibility is to embrace a forward-thinking legal perspective to interpret and enforce the law promptly. This involves employing innovative interpretations of current regulations, as relying on legislative modifications could be more practical. According to Dutch jurist Prof. Taverne, determining whether legislation is good or harmful depends on a judge’s decision-making during public hearings. According to Satjipto Raharjo, progressive law entails transformative measures that prioritize enhancing the legal system and the welfare of individuals. Judges should fearlessly undertake legal exploration with an innovative mindset to address ever-changing societal circumstances, diverging from traditional limitations. Recommendations for improving judicial professionalism encompass intellectual acuity, legal expertise, comprehension of social norms, and ongoing education to guarantee decisions are guided by moral discernment and responsive to changing social circumstances.
