Vanderbilt University, Nashville, Tennessee Female Conflict and Its Resolution in Eighteenth-Century St. Augustine [Elektronische Daten] [Jane G. Landers] Historian Charles Cutter has analyzed the "non-adversarial nature” of the Spanish legal culture and the manner in which Spanish authorities deployed written law (ley), customary law (derecho), and personal discretion (arbitrio judicial) effectively to achieve justice (equidad), even in peripheral areas of the empire. The primary objective of judicial administration was the resolution of conflict and restoration of harmony within the Spanish community. This paper uses civil and criminal records from second Spanish period Florida (1784-1821) to explore the gendered nature of Spanish legal culture by examining conflict between women and its resolution, as well as the ways in which the community and the court attempted to monitor and correct the "disruptive” behavior of women.
