Abstract

In 2005 PROIMMSE IIA UNAM, in conjunction with the Latin American Network of Legal Anthropology Mexico, RELAJU, organized the congress "Legal Anthropology in Mexico". The main objective was to carry out a critical assessment of the contributions and challenges of legal anthropology, in order to highlight and discuss the major issues and problems that have fueled the debate on this discipline as well as the new perspectives that were then being raised. . The event pursued two fundamental purposes: the first of them would constitute in itself the preparatory meeting for the IV Congress of the Latin American Network of Legal Anthropology that would take place in the state of Oaxtepec, Morelos, Mexico, in 2006 —see the report on CD -ROM of said event published in October 2006—; the second would consider the possibility of publishing the contributions of the RELAJU Mexico pre-conference in this digital magazine.
