        abstract = {Mediation, as an alternative dispute resolution method, is a justice-oriented approach aimed at achieving peace and the best possible mutual agreement (win-win solution). In 2023, the Religious Court of Garut received a total of 7,125 cases, consisting of 6,151 litigation cases, 944 petition cases, 29 small claims cases, and 1 Islamic economic case. Of these, only 371 divorce cases proceeded through the mediation stage, and merely 63 cases were successfully resolved through mediation. This data indicates that the success rate of mediation in divorce cases remains relatively low. This study specifically examines the factor of mediator neutrality, both from the perspective of perception and practical implementation. In the context of mediation, neutrality means that the mediator must not have any personal interest or bias toward either party. Supreme Court Regulation Number 1 of 2016 concerning Mediation Procedures in the Courts forms the legal basis requiring that mediation processes be conducted fairly, without bias, and oriented toward the fulfillment of the rights and interests of both parties.
This research employs a field research method and is descriptive-analytical in nature, using a juridical-empirical approach to directly observe and analyze the mediation practices implemented at the Religious Court of Garut. These practices are then examined through a juridical lens in accordance with the legal provisions governing mediation procedures and the implementation of the principle of neutrality in the mediation of divorce cases. Furthermore, the analysis is framed within John Rawls? Theory of Justice. Data collection techniques used in this study include documentation, observation, and interviews. This is a qualitative research study with data analysis conducted using an inductive reasoning framework.
The findings of the study reveal a degree of subjectivity in mediators' perceptions regarding neutrality. However, in terms of practical implementation, the application of mediator neutrality in divorce mediation at the Religious Court of Garut aligns with Supreme Court Regulation Number 1 of 2016 on Mediation Procedures in the Courts and reflects the principles of John Rawls? Theory of Justice in determining post-divorce rights and obligations}
