DESCRIPTION:Just as the effects of the law do not belong to any specific i
 nstitutional space or domain\, but manifest themselves in everyday life\, 
 so too does justice permeate the everyday (e.g.\, Merry 1990\; Greenhouse\
 , Yngvesson\, & Engel 1994\; Ewick & Silbey 1998\; Sarat & Kearns 2009). J
 ustice is woven into the fabric of everyday existence at different levels 
 and in manifold ways. People understand\, perceive\, receive\, experience 
 and accomplish justice in many forms\, either by themselves or through the
  mediation of other actors. Justice is plural in its meanings and expressi
 ons\, while regimes of justice range in scale from family arbitration and 
 indigenous forms of justice\, to the International Criminal Court. It ther
 efore seems inevitable that justice will remain both a familiar ideal or n
 orm\, and a difficult concept to specify.\n\nThis conference aims to gener
 ate a cumulative account of the 'everyday nature of justice'. We invite th
 eoretically grounded papers offering ethnographic insights into the plural
  nature of 'everyday justice' across the globe. By bringing together schol
 ars whose work teases out the multiple locations and layers of 'everyday j
 ustices'\, our goal is to spotlight the process of everyday justice format
 ion in all its ambiguity\, complexity and plurality. In soliciting work at
  the junction of 'justice' and the 'everyday'\, we intend to provoke a rec
 onceptualization of justice across multiple settings\, one that brings a w
 ider and more plural range of scholarship to bear on currently intractable
  social conflicts.
