Abstract

This In Brief considers the role that village courts in Papua New Guinea (PNG) are imagined to play in local-level dispute resolution versus the role they are actually able to play under current resourcing conditions. My discussion is based on recent fieldwork on the southern mainland of Milne Bay Province in PNG, known as the Suau Coast.
