The Legalization and Application of Osing Indigenous People's Customary Law Model in the Legal System

This research aims to analyze the application and normalization of the Osing indigenous people's customary law model in the Indonesian legal system. It discusses whether or not local wisdom as unwritten laws can be applied as guidelines in establishing the legal system in Indonesia. This research used the socio-legal method that views the law as how it is applied or how the law lives in society. Results show that people's plural socio-cultural values contained in well-preserved local wisdom, including those of Osing indigenous people in Banyuwangi, are often unwritten. Some view the importance of normalizing customary laws with local wisdom values in a positive law form with a location-limited enforceability. This can be applied through the procedures and mechanisms regulated in Indonesian Law No. 12 of 2011 on the Formation of Constitutional Regulations.
