This study is an ethnographic research realized in the federal justice court of Laranjal
do Jari/AP, taking as background the legal and administrative procedures in which is
discussed the possibility of transferring the court to Brasília/DF. During the research
some local categories shown up, such as the complexity of borders, the negative
characterization of the relation between the justice system and politics, and the
different perspectives about the relation between proximity and access to justice. I
aimed, in this research, to put under perspective the rituals, practices and the
knowledge shared inside the justice system, so I could comprehend that the moral
aspect of conflicts, usually misunderstood by the agents of this system, even though
it operates in their very own practices as much as in the ones of the other citizens
that seek the jurisdiction, subverting, sometimes, the legal institutes in the struggle
for recognition.
