It is to understand how and why the Indonesian judiciary designs decision to build the good image of judicial system. Ontologically, this study is built on the belief that the copies of court decision is a communication medium used by the judiciary to build image and to gain legitimacy. This study was carried out within the interpretive paradigm by using a semiotic approach. It employed semiotic analysis. This research shows that the copies of court decision of defamation cases have been designed by the judiciary as a rhetorical story to build a positive image that the judiciary is concerned with social and legitimacy issues. By doing so, the Indonesian judiciary actively seeks strategies to gain legitimacy from the Indonesian people.
