Head of the Human Resources Division of Human Resources and Organization (SDMO) Bureau Yuni Nurhayati expressed appreciation to the interns for choosing the Court. She encouraged the interns to follow the internship schedule, heed their mentors’ guidance, and comply with all institutional rules.

“Once you join the Court, you become part of its big family, and all regulations also apply to you,” she said.

Head of the Human Resource Development Subdivision Debby Yelviona explained that the internship curriculum was tailored to the interns’ needs, with mentoring aligned with their academic backgrounds. The curriculum covers Court’s duties and authorities; introduction to the Registrar’s Office and the Secretariat General’s, the Library, and the Constitution History Center (Puskon); as well as hands-on assignments in units of the Court. Assessment will be based on academic assignments, research papers, final reports, discipline, and attitude.

Before being assigned to their respective units, the interns attended an introductory session to the Court, presented by associate legal counselor Ina Zuchriyah and moderated by senior legal counselor Hersinta Setiarini. Ina highlighted that the Court was officially established on August 13, 2003, following the third amendment to the 1945 Constitution. Its formation was part of the post-1998 constitutional reforms aimed at strengthening the rule of law and constitutional democracy.

“The Court was established to guarantee the supremacy of the Constitution, uphold democratic and legal principles, and protect citizens’ constitutional rights,” Ina stated.
