当前,一些民族村寨仍然盛行运用习惯法来解决纠纷,诉讼在这些地方并没有成为人们最主要的纠纷解决途径。传统诉讼文化的影响,诉讼的不经济不方便,维持熟人社会长期关系的需要,习惯法的简练性和处理纠纷的快捷性等等,是造成这种现象的主要因素。只有了解这些原因,才能理解民族村寨纠纷解决的特点和现实困境,从而制定出符合民族村寨实际情况的纠纷解决对策。 At present, some ethnic villages are still prevalent using customary law to resolve disputes. Litigation has not become the most important way for people to settle disputes in these places. The main causes of this phenomenon are the influence of traditional litigation culture, the inconvenience of litigation, the need of maintaining the long-term relationship of acquaintances, the conciseness of customary law and the quickness of handling disputes. Only by understanding these reasons can we understand the characteristics of the dispute settlement in ethnic villages and the current difficulties so as to formulate solutions to the disputes in line with the actual conditions in ethnic villages.
