ABSTRACT
This chapter examines Chief Justice Asshiddiqie's influence on standing at the Indonesian Constitutional Court. It explains the intellectual leadership of Jimly Asshiddiqie and how he combined a maximalist and a minimalist approach and explores Asshiddiqie's social leadership style, through which he minimized conflict among the judges and increased their social cohesion. It describes conflicting views on standing, on how the chief justice influences the standing doctrine in the Court. The battle over standing doctrine in the Indonesian Constitutional Court is evidenced by the conflicting visions of some justices regarding the role of the Court. In 2003, the Court began to sketch its standing doctrine in the Broadcasting Law case, in which the Court explicitly stated that standing requires only a potential injury. Apart from requiring a loose standing rule based upon potential injury, the Indonesian Constitutional Court employed "generalized grievances standing", which enabled a claimant to assert an injury that all or a significant number of citizens shared together.
