凉山彝区本土司法实践现状--以越西县的调查分析为例

THE STATUS OF MAINLAND JUDICIARY PRACTICEIN LIANGSHAN YI PEOPLE DISTRICT——Taking Diagnoses in Yuexi County as Example

通过对越西县彝族本土司法实践的实证考察,发现彝族习惯法长期在当地应用于司法实践的事实。这一事实显示习惯法使用的实际权威在彝族社会诸多时候会超出国家法的权限,因此主张国家法应当主动关注并实际承认习惯法的存在,认可或为其保留一定的合法地位和空间。这样,既有利于当地国家法的有效实施,又能满足保护文化和维持村寨秩序的现实需求。

In this paper,based on the empirical study of Yi people's mainland judicial practice in Yuexi County,the author finds the fact that customary law has been used for a long time,which shows that in the Yi society,the actual authority of customary law would exceed limits of authority of state law in many occasions.The author thinks that customary law should be paid an active attention and its existence should be admitted;customary laws should be accepted and approved or retained its legal status and space in the state law practice.This is not only in favor of effective implement of the constitution and legislation on state,but also settles for the real demand of culture protecting and village order maintaining.
