One of the important stages in the world of justice is the stage of legal discovery by judges to resolve cases that are being disputed. Many new cases emerge and escape from existing legal rules resulting in a legal vacuum, while judges must not refuse to examine, try and decide on cases that come to them on the grounds of lack of law or unclear regulation. Judges are required to find the law in resolving disputes. On the other hand, the implementation of procedural law shows a formalistic, positivistic, and textualist image, and the condition is assumed to be a part that contributes to the method of legal discovery by judges and the quality of decisions produced. In a pluralistic state of law such as in Indonesia, of course, the legal discovery of justice must be based on the perspective and method of studying legal science. The study must not stop let alone rely only on the perspective of positive legal ansicht. It is important for judges to accommodate perspectives, approaches, theories, rules, and other legal norms such as Islamic Law with the Istinbath Al-Ahkam method and Customary Law with their very varied and characteristic views on the law. The comprehensive review is expected to have an impact on the inclusiveness of judges in harmonizing all approaches and legal systems that apply in their decisions and does not consider the position of the text of the legislation to be final and free from penetration of the interpretation of reason that develops in accordance with the behavior of the community, which is very dynamic.

AbstractIslamic Law is one of the broadest and most comprehensive systems of legislation in the world. It was applied, through various schools of thought, from one end of the Muslim world to the other. It also had a great impact on other nations and cultures. We will focus in this article on values and norms in Islamic law. The value system of Islam is immutable and does not tolerate change over time for the simple fact that human nature does not change. The basic values and needs (which can be called maṣlaḥa) are classified hierarchically into three levels: (1) necessities (Ḍarūriyyāt), (2) convenience (Ḥājiyyāt), and (3) refinements (Kamāliyyāt=Taḥsīniyyāt). In Islamic legal theory (Uṣūl al‐fiqh) the general aim of legislation is to realize values through protecting and guaranteeing their necessities (al-Ḍarūriyyāt) as well as stressing their importance (al‐ Ḥājiyyāt) and their refinements (taḥsīniyyāt).In the second part of this article we will draw attention to Islamic norms. Islam has paid great attention to norms that protect basic values. We cannot explain all the Islamic norms that relate to basic values, but we will classify them categorically. We will focus on four kinds of norms: 1) norms (rules) concerned with belief (I’tiqādiyyāt), 2) norms (rules) concerned with law (ʿAmaliyyāt); 3) general legal norms (Qawā‘id al‐ Kulliyya al‐Fiqhiyya); 4) norms (rules) concerned with ethics (Wijdāniyyāt = Aḵlāqiyyāt = Ādāb = social and moral norms).

This chapter examines the history and use of maxims in legal traditions from several areas of the world. A comparison of legal maxims in Roman, Hindu, Jewish, and Islamic law shows that maxims function both as a basic tools for legal interpretation and as distillations of substantive legal principles applicable to many cases. Maxims are characterized by their unquestionable character, even though it is often easy to demonstrate contradictions between them. As a result, legal maxims seem linked to the recurrent desire for law to have a moral foundation. Although maxims have lost their purchase in most contemporary jurisprudence and legal practice, categories such as “canons of construction,” “legal principles,” and “super precedents” all show similarities to the brief and limited collections of maxims in older legal traditions. The search for core ideas underlying the law thus continues under different names.

Historians who have studied French primary education during the nineteenth century, Maurice Gontard, Jacques and Mona Ozouf, and Peter Meyer, have noted the great gains made by the instituteurs and their growing professional-ization from the time of the law of 1833 to the law of the 1880s. Improvements in the quality of teaching derived mainly from the introduction of a national system of normal schools (écoles normales primaires) by the Law on Primary Education of 1833. This article will discuss the history, programs, and organization of these schools and the origin and backgrounds of their students. It will also examine 280 essays written by schoolmasters in 1861 on the state of primary education in the towns and villages of France; these mémoires, written for the most part by graduates of the normal schools, provide first-hand insight into the teacher himself, his professional goals and sense of mission, and how he viewed the world around him in the middle of the last century.

The existence of Islamic law in the world is to regulate human life, both as a person and as a member of society in order to behave according to the wishes of the Creator. This is different from the general concept of law which is only intended to regulate human life as members of society or in other word the law exists because of the conflict of human interest. Among the problems in the philosophy of Islamic law, the most frequent discourse is about the issue of justice in relation to the law. This is because the law or regulation must be fair, but in fact it is often not. This paper will describe this issue of justice from the perspective of legal philosophy and Islam. In the perspective of legal philosophy, the author will only parse the theory of justice Aristotle and John Rawl. Whereas in the perspective of Islamic legal philosophy, the author will parse the theory of the Muktazilah and Asyariyah divine justice, and the Islamic Maqasyid Theory as the ideals of Islamic legal social justice.

This paper describes the polemic of the distribution of waris for foster child in the study of Islamic law and the laws and regulations in Indonesia. The distribution of estate to foster child was regulated in article 209 in the Compilation of Islamic Law (KHI). Thus, this is a signal that the influence of customary law and Western law had entered in KHI . Therefore, by this paper, Author would like to emphasize that the distri­bu­tion of waris to the foster child by using the concept of wasiat wajibah in KHI is wrong. It is not based on the shari'ah (qath‘iy al-dilâlah), but rather based on logic of the law and humanitarian considerations, and it is zhan­niy al-dilâlah. Thus, author sure that the distribution of waris by one third (1/3) of estate to the foster child by using the concept of wasiat wajibah is an erroneous ijtihad, cotradiction with the texts, and could be detrimental to the main heirs.

While the role of parties’ autonomy is of minimal importance when discussing procedures in cases including foreign element presented before the courts, it plays an important role in the choice of applicable law in arbitration procedures. The reason for this is that an arbitrator is not subject to law of jurisdiction, in the same way as a national judge. In response to the development of protection of intellectual property, the World Intellectual Property Organization “WIPO” organization has established an arbitration and Mediation centre, described as the first institutional international center specialized in settling intellectual property disputes, and has given the parties freedom to choose the law applicable to procedure. The study concludes that it is essential to introduce amendments to the WIPO arbitration rules to guarantee legal clarity and prevent confusion, such as imposing characterization to the law of the selected seat of arbitration, the need for explicit choice on the law governing the arbitration procedures, and clarification about what is meant by the law of the seat of arbitration in the absence of choice.

INTRODUCTION. Currently, states can apply a whole range of law enforcement measures at sea in order to prevent such unlawful phenomena as piracy, slave trade, drug trafficking, migrant smuggling, etc. However, the problem of the exercise of jurisdiction by states within various maritime areas is the main sticking point during the implementation of these measures. In an attempt to exercise the law enforcement function at sea, the state can't ignore the fact that its ability to create legal norms and ensure their effective implementation depends not only on its will as a sovereign, but also on the restrictions imposed by international law. Therefore, maintaining a balance between limiting the “territorialization” of maritime areas and the need to carry out a law enforcement function logically entails the need to determine the nature and content of the concept of “jurisdiction of the state” within different maritime areas, as well as to identify specific features of this legal category. The present article focuses on this and other related issues.MATERIALS AND METHODS. Historical and comparative analysis along with dogmatic research approach were used in the research process and the entire research is well grounded in focusing on the norms of international treaty law and customary law. In addition to that this research focuses on the norms of national law governing issues related to the application of law enforcement measurement at the sea. Apart from those given material and methodical inputs, the doctrinal works of the relevant jurists have been used in this research.RESEARCH RELULTS. The author comes to an alternative conclusion that territorial jurisdiction within the maritime territory is not absolute, which is due, apparently, the principle of freedom of the high seas which have a longer support by the international community. The definition of jurisdiction as extraterritorial is not self-sufficient, since in case of conflict of jurisdictions, additional legal criteria are required to resolve such a conflict. The classification of extraterritorial jurisdiction depending on the principles on which it is based also does not solve the problem, since some principles, such as protective or universal, in turn, require additional criteria in order to become a self-sufficient tool to overcome legal uncertainty. The author notes that the ability to exercise territorial jurisdiction within maritime areas, as a rule, determines the ability to exercise legislative and executive jurisdiction, which are also not absolute. The exercise of extraterritorial legislative or executive jurisdiction at sea is potentially permissible only on the basis of international law to solve a specific function, for example, law enforcement.DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION. The main problem of the varieties of jurisdiction proposed by in- ternational legal science is that each of them only supplements each other, describing a possible choice, but not explaining why a particular choice should be preferred in case of conflict. It is obvious that current uncertainty has created some severe impacts upon the institution of law enforcement measures at sea as a result of the absence of standards for enforcement measures that could make a balance to the mechanism. Hence the law enforcer has to be cautious with a number of factors in deciding the implementation of law enforcement measures within the sea.

A divorce is indeed never expected to happen in a marriage. However once it happens, the important thing which must be taken into account is the consequence of the divorce where the issue pertinent to children’s livelihood is one of it. This study tried to probe into how Malaysia and Indonesia whose most of the population was Muslims adopted the Fiqh concept in terms of post-divorce children’s livelihood in their regulations. Since there  always be difference between theory and practice, the real implementation of the decisions will also be examined on the basis of legal norms. This study directly explores the laws and Court decisions for further assessment based on several indicators. It is found that the legislation and the Court decisions of the two countries had adopted the concept of Fiqh yet with a couple of particular notes. It is also found that there is a chance of providing livelihood for illegitimate children in the law and practice of both countries.
