Author(s): Sugiaryo, Anita Trisiana

This article discusses the position of the Judicial Commission of the Republic of Indonesia in the constitutional system of the Republic of Indonesia in terms of the concept of trias politica. Judging from the concept of trias politica, the Judicial Commission is not included in the scope of the Judiciary authority, but the position of the judicial commission in the constitutional structure of the Republic of Indonesia is as an independent state institution that functions as a supporting institution in one of the dominant institutions in the judicial realm, namely the Supreme Court of the Republic of Indonesia. The existence of the Judicial Commission of the Republic of Indonesia is listed in Article 24 B of the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia in the third amendment. This Judicial Commission is a state institution related to Judicial power, but it is not included in the judicial power scope. The Judicial Commission is the agency authorized to propose the appointment of justices and Ad Hoc judges in the Supreme Court to the House of Representatives for approval; maintain and uphold the honor, dignity, and conduct of judges; establish a Code of Ethics and a Code of Conduct for a Judge together with the Supreme Court to maintain and enforce the implementation of a Code of Ethics and a Code of Conduct for a Judge. Related to judicial institutions, their authority is undoubtedly related to the implementation of judicial power.
