The process of summoning and notification at the Religious Court is a very important stage for the course of the trial. A valid summons is regulated in articles 122, 388, and 390 of the Criminal Code, namely summons must be made through the intermediary of the bailiff. However, with the new provisions regarding summons by registered mail, the call process is carried out through a postal courier intermediary. The regulation in question is SEMA Number 1 of 2023. The purpose of this study is to describe the procedures and analyze the effectiveness of summons and notifications through the intermediary of bailiffs and postal couriers. This article is classified as an empirical juridical research using a qualitative descriptive method. This article indicates the difference in the mechanism of calls and notices by bailiffs and postal couriers. With the use of a registered letter, the summons no longer depends on the officer who delivers it but on the Panel of Judges as the giver of the order. After the implementation of SEMA Number 1 of 2023, the delivery method through postal couriers is considered more effective than by bailiffs. This is in accordance with the principles of the judiciary which prioritizes a simple, fast, and low-cost process.
