The anthropology of law :

Much of the anthropological work on Middle American communities has generally typified local (community) informal law as "customary". The emphasis on only one type of dispute resolution agency obfuscates definitive conclusions in clarifying the complex juridical characteristics of Middle America. This complexity can be illuminated and made more lucid through a comparative analysis of de facto and de jure methods of conflict resolution. Therefore, this research was undertaken as an analysis and critique of the ethnographic literature in depth. These sources were treated as an ethnohistorian explores any historical documentation.
