The Committee on Southern Asian Studies of the University of Chicago and the Arts College of the University of Rochester have also provided financial and other assistance. The opportunity to participate in the Social Science Research Council's Summer Seminar on Law and Social Relations (1956) directed by Professors E. A. Hoebel and Harold Berman was crucial in developing my interest in the study of Indian legal systems. I have benefited from the comments of Marc Galanter, Harold Levi, and F. G. Bailey on this paper.
