Since publication in 1957 the importance of Bohannan's study of
judicial institutions and procedures among the Tiv has been widely
recognized. It has contributed widely to the continuing discussion
concerning the objectives and methods to be followed in the
anthropological study of law and the contribution this makes to
comparative jurisprudence. the work describes and defines Tiv ideas
of 'law' as expressed in the operations of their courts known as
Jir. The analysis is based on and illustrated by numerous cases
which the author attended and discussed with leaders in the Jir.
