The Juducial Commission is an institution formed in the reformed regime. The Judicial
Commissionhas the authority to propose the appointment of Supreme Court justices and
has other powers in the context of maintaining and upholding the honor, dignity, and
behavior of judges as mandated by Article 24B paragraph (1)of the Constitution. This
paper is entitled Juridical Review of the Authority of the Judicial Commission in
Maintaining and Upholding the Honor, Noble Dignity, and Behavior of Judges. This paper
analyzes, first, how the Judicial Commission has the authority to maintain the honor,
dignity, and behavior of judges. Second, how the Judicial Commission authority to
upholding the honor, dignity, and behavior of judges. This paper uses a normative legal
research approach. The author concludes that first, the Judicial Commision’s authority in
maintaining the honor, dignity, and behavior of judges has been strengthened after the
amandement. However, after changes are made, the indicators or criteria for judge
behavior that must be maintained are clear, namely based on the Code of Ethics and the
Code of Conduct for Judges. Second, the authority of the Judicial Commission in upholding
the honor, nobility and behavior of judges after the issuance of the Law No 18 of 2011 as
an ammandement to Law No 22 of 2004 also appears to have been more comprehensive
and further strengthens the authority of the Judicial Commissions in enforcing judges
suspected of committing violations to the Code of Ethic and Code of Conduct for Judges.
However, the decisions given by the Judicial Commission are not authoritative, meaning
that the decisions given by the Judicial Commission are limite to providing
recommendations or propising to the Supreme Court to impose sanctions on judges who
have been proven to have violated the Code of Ethics and Code of Conduct for Judges.
