Anwar Usman
Abstract
Law is something that regulates and binds everything it regulates. Law enforcement needs someone who can investigate, adjudicate, and decide in law enforcement efforts. A society that continues to develop causes the possibility that the law has not regulated something in its actions. For that matter, we need a judge . the author focus in this study is to see how the function of a judge from legal perspective. The author finds that based on the law, judges have the power to hear and decide a case in court under the existing written law. When there is a legal vacuum in the sense that there is no law governing a case, the judge can interpret the law so that the judge can still make decisions. However, judges still have to remember the legal principles and laws governing the interpretation.
