Abstract
The paper discusses the relationship between shari’a courts and other courts in the framework of dynamic legal pluralism in Indonesia. It explains how the shift in plural legal orders in contemporary Aceh is taking place, in which the shari’a court now has an ascent position. The paper argues that this current order has not simply to do with the state’s offer of the formal implementation of the shari’a in Aceh since 2001, but thanks largely to social and political processes that ensued the 2004 Boxing Day tsunami.
