clan-based justice systems
Clan-based justice systems refer to legal systems that prioritize resolving disputes and administering justice within a social organization centered around a clan or extended family. In these systems, customary laws and traditions play a prominent role, and decisions are often made collectively by clan members, who act as judges and mediators to reconcile conflicts and mete out appropriate punishments or reparations.
