摘要:This paper analyses the conciliatory justice practices and the social profiles of its users in the villages and cities of Central Chile, after the implementation of conciliation as a formality prior to the presentation of a lawsuit before the courts of record from 1824 to 1836. The 299 conciliatory trials studied suggest that conciliatory justice was a conflict resolution mechanism used mainly by the educated upper and middle-upper classes of the local communities, who were precisely the ones who allowed it to operate by carrying out various administrative functions. The community’s active participation-or rather that of said class of the local community-was a determining factor in the validation of this “new” recourse for conflict resolution, noting society’s active role in legitimizing State institutions and legality.
