Indonesian Notary Law Politics in a Diachronic Perspective

Abstract

The position of a Notary has always evolved from time to time. This is something that is often ignored so that it is not uncommon to find it in understanding the characteristics of the notary's position. Misunderstanding of the tablionis ficium fideliter exercebo, which means that notaries must work traditionally as if immune to the times, so that they understand the notary's position. This research uses normative juridical research methods through approaches, approaches to applying laws and historical approaches which are elaborated with the concept of legal politics and the theory of authority. Conclusion This journal describes that notaries since the ancient Roman era have experienced significant development from being just a scribe to being part of an organ of state power that has high dignity with authority and characteristics that are different from other organs of power. Recommendation that the need for a diachronic understanding of notarial legal politics becomes a guide in understanding the identity of a notary position perfectly.
