Jury+Judge vs Judge in Legal Systems

Comparative Analysis: Judicial Decision-Making Systems

Understanding how different legal systems reach a verdict is essential for grasping the nuances of global justice. Below is a comparison of the US "Jury + Judge" system and the Indonesian "Professional Judge" system.

Country / Negara Description of Decision-Making / Deskripsi Pengambilan Keputusan
United States / Amerika Serikat Jury + Judge: The jury determines facts (guilt/liability), while the judge oversees the trial and handles sentencing.

Juri + Hakim: Juri menentukan fakta (kesalahan/tanggung jawab), sementara hakim mengawasi jalannya persidangan dan menangani penjatuhan hukuman.
Indonesia / Indonesia Professional Judges: A panel of judges actively examines the evidence and makes the final decision on both facts and law.

Hakim Profesional: Majelis hakim secara aktif memeriksa bukti dan membuat keputusan akhir mengenai fakta maupun hukum.

This comparison highlights the fundamental difference between the democratic participation found in Common Law systems and the professional expertise prioritized in Civil Law traditions.
