AbstractAs an affected COVID-19 pandemic country, Indonesia took policy options through Social Restrictions on Large-Scale (PSBB), supported by six legal documents from Government Regulation in Lieu-of-The Law, Government Regulations, to Presidential Decrees. This socio-legal research aims to analyze the COVID-19 countermeasure policy through Roscoe Pound's sociological jurisprudence. Base on empirical data from March to December 2020, the results showed that the policy to overcome COVID-19 is supported by six legal documents when examined through analysis of the hierarchy of norms, clarity of the purpose and usefulness very contradictory to the purpose of the deployment restrictions of COVID-19 itself. Referring to sociological jurisprudence, the COVID-19 policies should be based on four essential elements adjusted to public requirements so that the implementation of the policies can perform effectively. AbstrakSebagai negara yang terdampak pandemic Covid-19, Indonesia mengambil opsi kebijakan melalui Pembatasan Sosial Berskala Besar yang ditopang oleh enam produk hukum mulai Peraturan Pemerintah Pengganti Undang-Undang, Peraturan Pemerintah, sampai dengan Keputusan Presiden. Penelitian sosio-legal ini bertujuan menganalisis kebijakan penanganan COVID-19 melalui penggunaan teori sociological jurisprudence Roscoe Pound. Berdasarkan data penelitian dari Maret sampai dengan Desember tahun 2020, hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa kebijakan penanganan COVID-19 yang didukung oleh enam produk hukum apabila dikaji secara hierarki norma, kejelasan tujuan, dan kemanfaatan ternyata kontradiktif dengan tujuan membatasi ruang gerak sebaran virus COVID-19 itu sendiri. Selanjutnya mendalilkan kepada aliran sociological jurisprudence maka kebijakan penanganan COVID-19 seyogyanya disandarkan kepada empat poin mendasar yang disesuaikan dengan kebutuhan publik sehingga implemenetasi kebijakan penanganan COVID-10 dapat berjalan dengan efektif.

Objective: This study aims to determine the existence and position of customary law communities in Indonesia and to examine how the constitutionality of customary law in Indonesia is from the perspective of sociological jurisprudence.Method: The method used in this research is a normative juridical approach which is focused on examining various kinds of laws and regulations and theoretical concepts. In this study, researchers examine the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia, Law No. 41 of 1999 concerning Forestry, until the Constitutional Court Decision No. 35/PUU-X/2012 concerning Customary Forests, while for the theoretical conceptual approach the researcher examines the concept of customary law, and the concept of customary law communities and their relation to the concept of sociological jurisprudence.Finding: The results of the study show that the concept of customary law as part of the State of Indonesia when viewed from the perspective of Sociological Jurisprudence as a law that grows and lives in society. Juridically, the traditional rights of indigenous and tribal people are also constitutional rights because they are stated in the constitution, as emphasized in Article 18 paragraph (2) of the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia, in relation to sociological jurisprudence, the new positive law will be effective if its implementation is appropriate and contains the principles that live in society. The gravity of the law is not found from the law itself, but from the community. So it is proper that the content and protection and recognition related to the existence of customary law are regulated in laws and regulations.Usage: This article can provide input for policy makers, especially the central and local governments regarding the urgency of the formation of a draft law on customary law communities, where the law is expected to provide legal protection to the rights of indigenous peoples because indigenous peoples have existed long before the Republic of Indonesia was formed so that its existence was recognized in the Constitution.Novelty: Legal certainty regarding the constitutionality of customary law in Indonesia is particularly important for indigenous peoples, and extremely useful for recognizing the existence of indigenous peoples in Indonesia. Determining the constitutionality of customary law in Indonesia in the perspective of sociological jurisprudence will ensure legal certainty in relation to customary law, which until now there are no explicit rules governing customary law in Indonesia.

Sociological Approaches to Theories of Law applies empirical insights to examine theories of law proffered by analytical jurisprudents. The topics covered include artifact legal theory, law as a social construction, idealized accounts of the function of law, the dis-embeddeness of legal systems, the purported guidance function of law, the false social efficacy thesis, missteps in the quest to answer 'What is law?', and the relationship between empiricism and analytical jurisprudence. The analysis shows that on a number of central issues analytical jurisprudents assert positions inconsistent with the social reality of law. Woven throughout the text, the author presents a theoretically and empirically informed account of law as a social institution. The overarching theme is that philosophical claims about the nature of law can be tested and improved through greater empirical input
