INTRODUCTION
The focus of the study is to review it deeply toward the independence and impartiality principle that is
concretized into the legal norm in Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia Number 8 Year 1981 concerning
the Criminal Procedures that known as Criminal Law Procedures Code that must be applied by the judge of
criminal justice.
        Based on the Law Dictionary, Dictionary of Law Complete Edition, the definition of principle is A
vision that is formulated widely and underlying the existence of the legal norm.'
        The definition of principle based on the other law dictionaries, namely, principle, means: 1. The
fundamental law; 2. Fundamental (a foundation in thinking and arguing; 3. The basic association (community or
organization).2
        According to Tolib Effendi, ....the principles or principle in any law is a strong basis in the
establishment of the articles in the law itself.3

          concretized to society, the fundamental law (the process) should be manifested into a norm that
          known as the rule of law. From this, we can see that it becomes a foundation for the existence of the
          norm as a regulation. We can consider of this view that the concretization of the regulations basically
          start from the very beginning process through to the end can be returned to the fundamentals of the
          law.4
        It can be understood that legal principle is a abstract principle, it is concretized into regulation (legal
