Abstract

Nagari as a customary legal community in Minangkabau, plays an important role in dispute resolution through deliberation, consensus, and communal values. At the same time, the state provides a formal legal system based on regulations and judicial procedures. The interaction between these two frameworks often creates tensions due to differing approaches and the limitations of state law in accommodating local values. This article analyzes the negotiation between the state and Nagari in dispute resolution and examines the integration of local wisdom with state law. The study uses a qualitative field research approach in Nagari Pasia Laweh, West Sumatra, which is known as a Constitutional Nagari. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and document analysis, and then analyzed using the Miles and Huberman interactive model. The findings show that state–Nagari negotiation takes place through mediation forums, deliberation, and the formulation of nagari regulations. Local wisdom serves as the basis for reconciliation, while the state ensures legal certainty. This pattern of integration reduces normative conflict between customary law and state law while strengthening public trust in both customary institutions and formal legal institutions. The study highlights the importance of recognizing Nagari as a state partner in dispute resolution based on restorative justice and legal pluralism.
