| Abstract | In the modern legal system, judgement is the 'formal', 'ordinary', or 'official' pattern of the dispute resolution. But in the Middle Ages, this was not self-evident. Governments should struggle to pursuade their people to accept the judicial process supplied by them, for people had many other patterns and courses to settle their disputes and conflicts. In this session, we will show several patterns of non-judicial dispute resolution in England, Japan, and Germany in the Middle Ages, and would like to reproduce the ways that governments were trying to absorb or connect them with their 'official' course of dispute resolution. |
