The turbulent class conflict attendant on Allende's presidential
campaign and his Unidad Popular coalition's attempts to create a
socialist state spawned efforts to change the traditional judicial
system in Chile. Though the UP failed to legislate a nationwide
system of neighborhood courts staffed with lay judges, two
decentralized courts did emerge. One employed professional judges,
who held weekly informal court sessions for poor residents of their
jurisdictions; the other was established illegally by a highly
organized squatter settlement. Bearing the imprint of Chile's
competing ideologies, the two courts were deeply affected by the
dramatic events of the Allende years, and their history sheds light
on those years. Moreover, the contrasting strategies and processes
of the courts provide insights into the general problem of
decentralization of urban institutions and the particular problems
of urban dispute resolution.
