| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The focuses of this project are (1) ethnographical documentation of the indigenous legal systems of the Amiiru and Gusii, (2) socio-legal research on the administration of African customary laws (especially marriage laws) in Kenyan legal pluralism using case-method such as observing trials at law courts and library research, (3) historical and comparative study on how the formal legal systems are connected to the informal or local systems and how African customary laws are recognised and applied at official law courts, and (4) theoretical and practical discussions on how the restatement of African customary laws compatible with local perspectives and with the twofold demand for legal certainty and flexibility is possible in Kenyan legal pluralism.
Collaboration between Kenyan and Japanese researchers based at the National Museums of Kenya has resulted in the publication of several books.
