This article also presents the practical problems facing a district magistrate in southern Tanzania in an undeveloped, not easily accessible area. Drawing on a long experience in other courts in the country, the author illustrates how the public view of the court staff is essential to achieving justice and how political influence on the judicial staff can sometimes be corrected. It draws parallels between the popular participation in pre-colonial non-state dispute settlement with contemporary popular participation in state judicial settlement of disputes, but raises doubts as to whether this is an efficient means of inculcating the rule of law in the public’s mind.
