In a land dispute case that was pronounced at the Cianjur District Court on September 29, 2021, although the opponent was a team of well-known lawyers in the field of law, Queen Law Firm still fulfilled its mission and spared no effort to protect the interests of its clients, and as always achieved the final victory.
Winning cases continuously is the best gift Queen Law Firm can give to its clients.
Congratulations to Eni Oktaviani and Guan Yue, the Managing Partners of Queen Law Firm, for winning the “Best Choice In Lawyer Award” at the “Indonesian Best Choice Award 2021” ceremony held at the Holiday Inn Kemayoran Hotel in Jakarta on the evening of September 24, 2021.

On August 21, 2021, Guan Yue from Queen Law Firm accepted an interview with reporter Epo A Ishiyama from Japan Daily News about the Indonesian criminal virtual court.
The virtual court is a measure taken by the Supreme Court of Indonesia in response to the growing COVID-19 pandemic in Indonesia. Guan Yue pointed out that the virtual courts in Indonesia currently only target criminal cases. The difference from an ordinary trial is that the defendant does not need to go to court to participate in the trial in person. Instead, the defendant participates in the trial through a TV screen in a specially arranged room in the prison. Other personnel, including judges, prosecutors, lawyers, witnesses, etc., must still be present in court in person.
During the COVID-19 epidemic, the virtual court can ensure that the defendant does not bring the virus from outside the prison into the prison, and it can also ensure that the trial of the case will not be interrupted due to the epidemic. Because, according to the Indonesian Criminal Procedure Law, the defendant cannot be more than 400 days in custody until the final judgment. If the final judgment is not made after the deadline, the defendant must be released.
Of course, Guan Yue also pointed out that virtual courts will reduce the quality of defense. Bypassing, the judge cannot really feel the defendant’s remorse, which will also affect the final judgment. Because the judgments made in trials conducted through ordinary courts are often lighter than those made in trials conducted through virtual courts. Moreover, due to network reasons, it will be difficult for the defendant to communicate with the parties to the trial, especially for foreign defendants. At the same time, with regard to the execution of a death sentence through a virtual court, Guan Yue believes that this is not a humane practice.
There are two sides to everything. Guan Yue believes that during the epidemic, for the safety of most people, it is indeed a better way to use virtual courts to try criminal cases.
The COVID-19 epidemic has been going on for more than one year, and Indonesia’s anti-epidemic situation has become increasingly severe. Starting on July 3, the Indonesian government has adopted Enforcement of Emergency Community Activity Restrictions (PPKM). More and more people have lost their source of livelihood because they can’t carry out normal activities so that they can’t guarantee the most basic life needs.
To this end, Queen Law Firm adheres to the concept of “take it from the people and use it for the people”, and prepares daily necessities for a certain number of people to alleviate their urgent needs.
Queen Law Firm hopes to help people in need to tide over the difficulties through this event.
On May 19, 2021, after more than a year of hard work, the South Jakarta Court No. 1072 Chinese Citizens v. Indonesian Citizens Breached the first-instance verdict. In addition to returning the principal, the Indonesian defendant must also pay high compensation. Queen Law Firm once again helped the client get justice back.
Of course, before the Chinese clients decided to start the lawsuit, there was also a fierce ideological struggle. After all, the clients need to complete the notarization and certification of the power of attorney in China and pay high attorney fees. Moreover, the clients must also bear the risk of losing the case. However, clients ultimately choose to protect their legal rights through legal means, because many things cannot be measured solely by economic benefits. The psychological pain caused by torts often makes the victims fight back, even without worrying about the economic gains or losses. As the German jurist Rudolf von Jhering said:
“The aim of the plaintiff’s suit to defend his rights from despicable humiliation is not a trivial matter, but an ideal goal of affirming his own personality and sense of law. Compared to this end, all the sacrifice and pain it causes is nothing for the right-holder – the goal is compensating for the means. The victim’s cries for filing a lawsuit not for monetary gain, but for ethical suffering from suffering an illegal offense.” (Rudolf von Jhering, The Struggle for Law, p. 21)
Feelings of law are feelings that people in a healthy society should have. So, what is the feeling of the law? For example, when we are queuing at the supermarket and suddenly someone comes and doesn’t want to queue, do we feel uncomfortable in our hearts? So, what’s the level of this discomfort? And will this mental pain compel us to stand up and accuse his behavior? This is a feeling of law. In other words, the healthy feeling of the law will directly lead to community rejection of actions that violate their rights. The better the legal education and law enforcement environment of the whole society, the healthier the legal sense of the community, the more concerned they are about their own rights, and the more courageous they will be to fight against violations of their own rights.
Apart from their own material value, rights also have ideal values because of their combination with personality. Violation of rights will result in loss of property and insult to the victim’s personality. Personality is the most essential difference between humans and animals. If one’s personality was lost, then it would be no different from a walking corpse. In many of the cases we have handled, the actual amount of money involved is not very large, but the client insists on suing or reporting the case because the client believes that even though his rights have been violated, he has not only lost money but more of his personality. This is an insult to the victim by the perpetrator. If the victim chooses to remain silent, he will be subjected to mental torment for a long time at a later date. As a person of a complete and healthy personality, he must have a healthy feeling and awareness of the law. He must dare to fight when his rights are violated in order to safeguard human dignity and alleviate the emotional pain of the law. This is a kind of Spiritual self-protection. Then, maintaining rights becomes an obligation that must be carried out by individuals.
Likewise, many clients will say to us: “I’m not doing this for myself, but to teach others a lesson, so that she won’t do the same for others in the future.” These are citizens in a healthy society, I highly commend the necessary awareness. The progress of a society depends on the efforts of everyone. It is clearly unfair and immoral for people to just step back and expect others to stand up and face rights violations. The remaining people will endure a lot more pressure. This is clearly unfair and unethical. Of course, this also cannot be separated from the support of the national law enforcement apparatus. If the state law enforcement apparatus only tries to mediate differences by sacrificing principles or even reversing black and white, it will cause the whole society to misunderstand what is called “judicial murder.” People will not be sure what is right and what is wrong. People no longer dare to defend their rights. More and more people are choosing silence, choosing to flee, and choosing not to believe in the law anymore. Then the laws of this country will no longer be respected, the country has no international status at all, and its people will not be respected by the people of other countries. Only the healthy and strong sense of the law of each person is a very rich source of national strength and a sure guarantee for independence at home and abroad. Therefore, safeguarding rights is also an obligation that must be carried out by all levels of society.
Finally, end with a passage from Rudolf von Jhering:
“When law and justice are rejuvenating in a country, it is not enough for judges to wait for trial in court and police patrols. It is necessary for everyone to do their best to assist. Those who are protected by the law should do their best. What it can do to protect the power and prestige of the law. In the interests of society, everyone is a natural fighter who fights for rights.” (Rudolf von Jhering, The Struggle for Law, p. 56)
The COVID-19 epidemic has lasted for more than a year, and this epidemic has caused severe damage to the world. Under the “large-scale social restriction” policy implemented by the Indonesian government, all normal activities in various sectors in Indonesia have been affected, and this also includes the speed at which the legal community handles cases. This is mainly because a large number of judges, registrars, and court staff were infected with the COVID-19 during the epidemic, which caused many courts to have to be temporarily closed.
However, regardless of the COVID-19 epidemic in Indonesia, as lawyers and legal advisers of Queen Law Firm, we will continue to provide the best service as always. On January 28, 2021, after a year of hard work, the case of an energy company in Beijing, China v. a mining company in Jakarta, Indonesia, was reopened in the Central Jakarta District Court. Even if the new crown epidemic is still not alleviated, we will still fight for our customers on the front line of the law.
