  • Complexity of the case: Certain cases, such as corruption and terrorism, have high complexity, requiring special expertise from judges and prosecutors.
  • Efficiency and effectiveness: Special courts are expected to resolve cases more efficiently and effectively than general courts.
  • Justice: Special courts are expected to provide more appropriate justice for those seeking justice.

Concerns Regarding Special Courts

Despite having several advantages, the establishment of special courts also raises several concerns, including:

  • Potential fragmentation of law: The establishment of special courts can lead to fragmentation of law and inconsistency of decisions.
  • Potential abuse of authority:Concerns have arisen that special courts could be misused for specific interests.
  • High costs:The establishment and operationalization of special courts require high costs.

Conclusion

Continuous evaluation of the existence and performance of special courts needs to be carried out to ensure that they provide benefits to society.
