More about the book

The book explores the essence of justice beyond traditional court systems, emphasizing that true juridical acts stem from the regulated progression of disputes rather than judicial intervention. It argues that the core of legal order lies in how individuals confront and engage with one another, highlighting the interplay between rules and struggle. The text redefines the concept of justice, focusing on the dynamics of conflict resolution rather than merely the decisions of judges or magistrates.
