Dr. ST. Laksanto Utomo

Abstract: The function of the Judicial Commission is to make judicial bodies in Indonesia have a high and clean performance, so that law enforcement and justice by judicial bodies at all levels can be realized in accordance with the mandate of the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia. This paper is intended to identify the ideal relationship between the Judicial Commission and the Supreme Court. Research uses the normative juridical method, which is a process to find the rule of law, legal principles and legal doctrine to answer the legal problems at hand. It was found that the relationship between the Judicial Commission and the ideal Supreme Court was a synergy relationship between the two institutions in carrying out the authority and duties as mandated by the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia and related law orders. Their relationship is not merely check and balances relationship, but rather interpreted as an institutional relationship that collaborates with each other, works together, supports each other and complements one another based on a spirit of togetherness and mutual trust without feeling defeated in exercising authority and institutional duties, especially those related to the function of supervising judges' behavior. It is recommended that the synergy between the Judicial Commission and the Supreme Court prioritizes the rule of law and justice in accordance with their respective powers and duties, and is committed to building a spirit of cooperation, mutual understanding and respect, and mutual trust.
