reflect the values of justice. Justice for everyone is different. It is not surprising that in a judge's decision there will
always be someone who declares justice; on the other hand declaring it unfair. Legal remedies are actually available to
test the decision taken by a judge, whether he has applied the law and justice properly. The purpose of the study is: to
analyze and find the principle of judges' consideration of the disputes of parties in the current Indonesian legal system.
The research method used in this study is the constructivism paradigm, a type of normative legal research and empirical
legal research. The method of sociological juridical approach. The source of research data consists of primary data
sources and secondary data sources, primary and secondary data sources. Using descriptive qualitative analysis. The
findings indicate that the principle of judges' consideration of the disputes of the parties in every civil decision in the
court is still not based on the value of justice and balance for the parties and in fulfilling the losses is still burdensome to
the losing party, there will be legal remedies.
