Peran Hukum Progresif Dalam Mencari Keadilan Menurut Satjipto Rahardjo
Main Article Content
Abstract
This research analyzes the role of progressive law in achieving justice, specifically based on Satjipto Rahardjo's thinking. Law in Indonesia is often used for certain interests and legalizes actions that injure the value of justice, making it a mere tool, not a goal. The idea of progressive law was born from Satjipto Rahardjo's concerns about the legalistic-positivistic legal conditions in Indonesia. He emphasized that the law exists for humans, for their happiness and welfare. Progressive law means law that dares to make breakthroughs in theory and practice, prioritizing law enforcement with spiritual intelligence, determination, empathy, dedication, and courage to look for other ways. The goal is to liberate the law so that it can serve humans and humanity, without engineering or favoritism. In achieving justice, progressive law encourages legal actors to interpret legal texts beyond mere logic, answering dynamic societal problems with static legal containers. The case of Nenek Asyani shows the relevance of progressive law, where law enforcers should interpret the law to serve justice and humanity, because law is a tool, not a goal.
