Abstract
Cooperative Principles which was proposed by Grice consist of a set of maxims which are fundamental to establish effective communication. However, people tend to fail in observing certain maxims. This paper is aimed to describe the types of flouting maxims in courtroom, specifically in Administrative Court since people in the courtroom have their own purposes and needs related to the case, they tend to produce flouting maxim to get what they want. Descriptive qualitative research will be applied in this research. The data in this research will be clauses which consist of flouting maxims in the courtroom of Administrative Court. The source of the data will be taken from the courtroom of Administrative Court. The recorded cases will be about land affairs and employment, because cases which handled by Administrative Courts are those kinds of cases. The data will be collected through observation, video-recording, transcribing, sorting, enlisting, and arranging the obtainable data systematically. The data will be analysed by using Theory of Maxim which was proposed by Grice (1975) as the guidance to select the appropriate data in this study.
