Journal of Indonesian Constitutional Law (JICL) focuses on studies and research in Constitutional Law, both in Indonesia and globally, particularly those related to Emergency Constitutional Law. The focus of this journal is intended to enable JICL to contribute to providing up-to-date references for countries in a state of emergency so that they can obtain the best solutions to accelerate the resolution of their emergencies, such as: 1) Constitutional emergencies and instability of the state and government; 2) Social and religious conflicts; 3) Disaster emergencies and environmental damage. These themes are currently very important to discuss due to the unstable global conditions marked by the strengthening potential for war, rampant demonstrations due to authoritarianism, prolonged religious and social conflicts, and numerous natural disasters and environmental damage.

To enhance the uniqueness of this journal, its scope is specifically limited to areas of constitutional law that intersect with states of emergency, including State Institutional Law, Constitutional Interpretation, Islamic Constitutional Law, Law and Human Rights, Disaster Law, State Financial Law, Law and Legislation Drafting, and Adat Constitutional Law.

JICL prioritizes papers that present empirical data and comparative legal systems and policies across different countries.
