| Summary, etc. | In the framework of a sponsors’ strategy to establish the “rule of law” in the Democratic Republic of Congo, the government of Joseph Kabila, elected in 2006, has undertaken a major reform of the judicial system. One of the main ambitions of this reform is to improve citizens’ access to “modern” justice by replacing customary courts with justice of the peace courts. Drawing upon collective research carried out in 2010, the present article evaluates the scope of this aspect of the reform by comparing the concrete manner in which customary courts operate in the outskirts of Lubumbashi with justice of the peace courts in the same town. In addition to supplying the materials for an empirically well-founded critique of the modernist presuppositions underlying reform, this approach offers an original analytical perspective for reconsidering the debate over formal and informal systems of justice that has arisen in the literature of law and development over the course of the past decade. ? |
