With a qualitative analysis method. The results of the research show that the application of customary law in the justice system is very important. Customary justice has become a place for solving problems faced by people in remote villages. In addition, most poor people prefer to settle their cases in customary courts rather than taking state law. However, in implementing this, there are not a few challenges faced, due to the fact that the role of customary justice has not been properly recognized. The unclear recognition of customary justice in laws and regulations has an impact on the existence of customary justice. The government needs to provide a clear position of customary law so that it can carry out its function as one of the laws in Indonesia.
