Dominus Litis merupakan asas universal yang melekat pada Jaksa. Jaksa selaku penuntut umum memiliki peran sentral dalam sistem peradilan pidana. Kehadiran Perja Nomor 15 Tahun 2020 Tentang Penghentian Penuntutan berdasarkan keadilan restoratif menjadi landasan bagi Jaksa untuk melakukan penegakan hukum pidana berorientasi keadilan restoratif. Penegakan hukum pidana secara umum maupun berorientasi keadilan restoratif yang dilakukan oleh Jaksa selaku Dominus Litis terdapat kelemahan dan kendala yang ditemukan dalam proses penerapannya. Esensi asas Dominus Litis yang melekat pada Jaksa belum optimal. Pada Tahap Pra Penuntutan, Jaksa selaku Dominus Litis hanya sebatas menerima SPDP dan meneliti berkas dari penyidik untuk ditindak lanjuti ke tahap penuntutan atau dikembalikan ke penyidik. Penerapan penghentian penuntutan berdasarkan keadilan restoratif oleh Jaksa selaku Dominus Litis sudah sesuai dan selaras dengan nilai-nilai yang terkandung dalam pancasila khususnya pada sila keempat. Akan tetapi dalam penerapanya ditemukan kendala-kendala antara lain:Substansi Hukum, Struktur Hukum, dan Budaya Hukum.Penguatan kewenangan jaksa selaku Dominus Litis dalam penegakan hukum pidana berorientasi keadilan restoratif dapat dilakukan dengan memformulasikan konsep keadilan restoratif kedalam KUHAP. Namun demikian, dalam proses pembaharuan KUHAP membutuhkan banyak aspek pertimbangan serta memakan waktu yang begitu lama. Hal yang paling mungkin dilakukan dalam waktu dekat yaitu melakukan sinergitas antar lembaga Polri Dan Kejaksaan untuk menerapkan asas Dominus Litis dalam penegakan hukum pidana berorientasi keadilan restoratif.

Abstract
Dominus Litis is a universal principle attached to the Prosecutor. The prosecutor as the public prosecutor has a central role in the criminal justice system. The presence of Perja Number 15 of 2020 concerning Termination of Prosecution based on restorative justice is the basis for the Prosecutor to enforce restorative justice-oriented criminal law. The enforcement of criminal law in general and restorative justice oriented carried out by the Prosecutor as Dominus Litis has weaknesses and obstacles that are found in the process of its application.the essence of the Dominus Litis principle attached to the Prosecutor is not optimal. In the Pre Prosecution Stage, the Prosecutor as Dominus Litis is only limited to receiving SPDP and examining files from investigators to be followed up to the prosecution stage or returned to investigators. The application of the termination of prosecution based on restorative justice by the Prosecutor as Dominus Litis is appropriate and in line with the values contained in Pancasila, especially in the fourth precept. However, in its implementation, there were obstacles, including: Legal Substance, Legal Structure, and Legal Culture. Strengthening the authority of the prosecutor as Dominus Litis in the enforcement of restorative justice-oriented criminal law can be done by formulating the concept of restorative justice into the Criminal Procedure Code. However, the process of reforming the Criminal Procedure Code requires many aspects of consideration and takes such a long time. The most likely thing to do in the near future is to synergize between the institutions of the Police and the Prosecutor's Office to apply the Dominus Litis principle in the enforcement of restorative justice-oriented criminal law.
