This government regulation defines the regulation of civil servant discipline as regulating obligations, prohibitions and sanctions relevant in the event a civil servant fails to abide by an obligation, or contravenes a prohibition.

The purpose of this Supreme Court Circular is to create uniformity in powers of attorney submitted by litigants to judicial bodies. In civil cases, powers of attorney submitted must clearly state, and distinguish between, the plaintiff(s) and defendant(s). Meanwhile, in criminal cases, powers of attorney must state the sections of the Criminal Procedure Code (Kitab Undang-Undang Hukum Acara Pidana) pursuant to which the accused is being sued.

In the even a case is escalated to the appeal or cassation level, a new power of attorney is not required.

3. lawyers' code of ethics, and bar council;
4. lawyers' rights and obligations;
5. the provision of legal aid; and
6. the employment of foreign legal advocates.

This status update derives from Indonesian Constitutional Court decision MK Nomor 101/PUU-VII/2009 (30 December 2009), where the Court found that art 4(1) of Law No. 18 of 2003 conflicted with the 1945 Constitution (Undang-Undang Dasar Negara Republik Indonesia Tahun 1945). Specifically, the Court found that the section had no legally binding authority if the phrase 'in an open session of a High Court in a legal jurisdiction' ('di sidang terbuka Pengadilan Tinggi di wilayah didomisili hukumnya') was not met. Moreover, this phrase was not to be interpreted as 'a High Court, pursuant to a legal order, shall swear an oath for advocates before they join the profession, without associating with the membership of the Organisation of Advocates which, de facto, exists at this moment, in the two years from when these findings are pronounced.'

This Supreme Court regulation stipulates that the religious (Islamic) judiciary, when examining, adjudicating and resolving shari'a economy-related cases, is to use the Compilation of Shari'a Economy Laws as its guide.
