Abstract

Mainstream Customary (Adat) Law does not pay much attention to empirical legal research; therefore, it is adat-positive legal science. In fact, adat law lives in a continuously changing community; thus, isolating its study from social research has made adat legal science has lost the opportunity to find perpetual adat legal development. This paper explains the significance of social research for adat legal science. Empirical data have numerous functions, such as legal materials to draft Academic papers on laws and regulations related to the Adat Law Community, judges’ consideration in settling disputes, especially agrarian conflict, and supporting the Adat Law Community to formulate their rules for the sake of their community and environmental sustainability.

Bahasa Abstract

Umumnya ilmu hukum adat arus utama nampak tidak mementingkan penelitian hukum empiris, sehingga disebut sebagai ilmu hukum adat positif. Padahal, hukum adat hidup dalam masyarakat yang terus berubah; sehingga, mengisolasi kajiannya dari penelitian sosial membuat ilmu hukum adat kehilangan kesempatan menemukan perkembangan hukum adat yang terus terjadi. Tulisan ini menjelaskan signifikansi penelitian sosial bagi ilmu hukum adat Data empiris banyak sekali manfaatnya, diantaranya adalah sebagai bahan bagi perumusan naskah akademik peraturan perundangan terkait masyarakat hukum adat, pertimbangan hakim dalam menyelesaikan perkara adat khususnya konflik agraria, dan membantu masyarakat hukum adat sendiri dalam merumuskan peraturan demi kelangsungan hidup komunitas dan lingkungannya.
