本文分析了马萨诸塞州一个地区刑事法院书记员在申诉听证会上的争论政治。通过考察地方冲突的意义上的斗争，它表明了对争端处理的详细研究对我们理解法律的和社会意义的系统是如何构成和再现的影响。本文认为，法院的工作，法院官员所扮演的角色，以及法律和社区在特定时刻的意义是在法院工作人员与当地公民的互动中形成的。与此同时，它认为，这些互动受到文化和历史上嵌入的阶级，种族和权力的关系。因此，本文提出了申诉听证会的做法如何复制和转化系统性的不平等和对立，并指出了互动的重要性，而不是二分法的方法来研究法律与社会的相互联系和相互渗透。
This paper analyzes the politics of disputing in complaint hearings held by the court clerk in a district criminal court in Massachusetts. By examining struggles over the meaning of local conflicts, it suggests the implications of detailed studies of dispute processing for our understanding of how systems of legal and social meanings are constituted and reproduced. The paper argues that the work of the court, the roles played by court officials, and the meaning of law and of community at particular moments in time are shaped in the interaction of court staff with local citizens. At the same time, it argues that these interactions are constrained by culturally and historically embedded relations of class, ethnicity, and power. Thus the paper suggests how the practice of complaint hearings both reproduces and transforms systemic inequalities and oppositions, and points to the importance of interactive rather than dichotomizing approaches for studying the interconnection and interpenetration of law with society.
