  • Summary

    This chapter explores the workings of a village court in the town of Bialla, Papua New Guinea. Through an examination of various actors (including a flag, chair, and summons) and the journeys they take, the chapter illustrates how a village court materializes as a place of authority, able to facilitate justice. This discussion also reveals how relationships sit at the heart of the disputes brought to the court, and why disputants emerge as court-making actors themselves. By examining a single village court in granular detail, this chapter is able to argue that networks of relationships are key to both the existence of the village court and the justice that is sought within them.
