Building Public Trust in the Judiciary Through the Judicial Commission's Liaison in South Sumatra

Abstract

This research analyzes the role of the Judicial Commission's liaison in building public trust in the judiciary system in South Sumatra. Using a descriptive qualitative approach and case study, this analysis identifies the challenges faced by the liaison in enhancing transparency, accountability, and public participation in the oversight of judges. The results show that while the liaison plays a vital role in bridging communication between the public and the judiciary, challenges such as limited resources, negative perceptions of judicial independence, and lack of coordination between institutions remain significant obstacles. Further support from the government and the public is necessary to improve the effectiveness of the liaison in creating a more trusted and transparent judicial system.
