Journal Description
Lex Renaissance is a peer-reviewed academic journal published by the Faculty of Law, Universitas Islam Indonesia. It focuses on advancing legal reform, legal innovation, jurisprudential development, and comparative legal studies through rigorous scholarly work and critical engagement with contemporary legal issues, with particular attention to legal developments in Indonesia while welcoming comparative, transnational, and international perspectives.
The journal prioritizes doctrinal, normative, comparative, and jurisprudential research that contributes to legal development, institutional reform, and regulatory innovation. It aims to bridge Indonesian legal scholarship with global legal discourse and promote stronger rule of law, constitutionalism, democracy, and good governance. Since 2023, Lex Renaissance has been published biannually in June and December and is registered under ISSN (Print) 2620-5386 and ISSN (Online) 2620-5394.
True to its name (the renaissance, or rebirth, of lex, the law) the journal is anchored in the politics of law (politik hukum) and the theory of responsive law, drawing on Mahfud MD, Nonet and Selznick, and Satjipto Rahardjo's progressive law. It asks of every manuscript not merely a description of what the law is, but rigorous inquiry into how, why, and under what conditions the law is reborn.
