Keywords:
Equality Before The Law, Criminal JusticeAbstract
A legal state must be fair to every citizen, without exception. It is not biased or applies to only one party. This includes providing equal services to citizens before the law. In law enforcement, for example, no citizen is immune from applicable laws. This is commonly known as a manifestation of the principle of equality before the law. For this reason, this article describes the principle of equality before the law. Apart from that, this article also describes the application of the principle of equality before the law in criminal justice practice in Indonesia, for example, as in the Putusan Pengadilan Negeri Bandung Nomor 221/Pid.B/2019/PN.Bdg (Bandung District Court Decision Number 221/Pid.B/2019/PN.Bdg).
