The Economics of Ottoman Justice
Recording Procedures and Legal Culture In the Late Ottoman Shari'a Court Of Jaffa, 1865-1890
In the 1870s, a new procedure for recording cases in the shari'a courts was officially introduced by the Ottoman judicial administration. In this essay I explore the implementation of this innovation in the Jaffa court between the years 1865 and 1890. My sources include the Jaffa court records and the Ottoman regulations that specify the instructions about the new recording procedure. I argue that the court of Jaffa was a site of ongoing changes …
Women's History and Ottoman Sharia Court Records

Women, Class, and Gender
The following four stories were recorded among hundreds and thousands of others in the sharica court records of turn-of-the-century Jaffa and Haifa. There is no obvious connection among these four court cases. They raised various legal issues; the litigants were city-dwellers as well as villagers; and they also differed from one another in their socio-economic backgrounds. What these stories illustrate is that there was a major difference between…
Family and Court
This book challenges prevailing assumptions about family, courts of law, and nature of modernity in Muslim societies against backdrop of Haifa and Jaffa during the long nineteenth century. The popular image of family and court of law in Muslim societies is one of traditional, unchanging social frameworks. Iris Agmon suggests an entirely different view, grounded in a detailed study of nineteenth-century Ottoman court records from flourishing Pales…
