ing the Romani people, commonly referred to as Gypsies, and their laws. My review will initially concentrate on the jurisprudential significance of oral legal traditions as illustrated by Romaniya, the law of the Roma. I will then discuss Hancock's listings of famous persons who have a rumored or established Romani ancestry. In conclusion I suggest that a nonconforming culture is in danger of being marginalized. A label of criminality may be attached to a group of people, such as the Roma, who do not live according to the cultural assumptions of the dominant society
