Ergene (U. of Vermont) examines the practice of law in Ottoman Anatolia, during the period, focusing on the judicial operations of local Islamic courts and the processes of dispute resolution as recorded in the court registers of the two north subprovinces named. He is not concerned with local history of the two provincial centers, or how the peopled lived and died, but concentrates on the relationship between the courts and the people, and on understanding the place of Islamic courts in Ottoman provincial life. The study is revised from his 2001 doctoral dissertation for Ohio State University. Annotation (c)2003 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com).

During the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, the Ottoman Empire endured long periods of warfare, facing intense financial pressures and new international mercantile and monetary trends. The Empire also experienced major political-administrative restructuring and socioeconomic transformations. In the context of this tumultuous change, The Economics of Ottoman Justice examines Ottoman legal practices and the sharia court's operations to reflect on the judicial system and provincial relationships. Metin Coşgel and Boğaç Ergene provide a systematic depiction of socio-legal interactions, identifying how different social, economic, gender and religious groups used the court, how they settled their disputes, and which factors contributed to their success at trial. Using an economic approach, Coşgel and Ergene offer rare insights into the role of power differences in judicial interactions, and into the reproduction of communal hierarchies in court, and demonstrate how court use patterns changed over time.

Abstract: This dissertation studies specific features of the Ottoman administration of justice in Anatolia during the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries. In particular, it examines the functions and responsibilities of Islamic courts within the framework of the Ottoman provincial administration, and explores the processes of adjudication and dispute resolution through a detailed juxtaposition of court records from two Anatolian towns, Çankırı and Kastamonu. This latter task is achieved through a historical-anthropological analysis of legal practices, which focuses primarily on the micropolitics of adjudication and dispute resolution.

The popular image of the family and the court of law in Muslim societies is one of traditional, unchanging social frameworks. Iris Agmon suggests an entirely different view, grounded in a detailed study of nineteenth-century Ottoman court records from the flourishing Palestinian port cities of Haifa and Jaffa. She depicts the shari'a Muslim court of law as a dynamic institution, capable of adapting to rapid and profound social changes indeed, of playing an active role in generating these changes. Court and family interact and transform themselves, each other, and the society of which they form part. Agmon's book is a significant contribution to scholarship on both family history and legal culture in the social history of the Middle East.
