The database « Practices of law, production of law : people’s initiative » gathers some experiences and reflexions about the law, presented in files, written by persons, groups and associations from all around the world (Africa, Latin America, Asia and Europe). Each file stems from a meeting, a reading, a sharing. It reveals a complicity, a intimacy with experiences and reflexions deriving, most of the time, from practice. A summary presents and organizes the diversity of exposed experiences and reflexions. A list of keywords is also proposed in order to facilitate a thematic or geographic search.
