Summary: The agricultural colonies in the south of the province of Mendoza to have emerged upon the "Desert Campaign", thanks to assignments of river water and the division of land in which criollos and immigrants were installed - demonstrated a rich community life. This work studies the actions of the justice of the peace - an institution led by lay judges with a practical knowledge of law in local society - in a period of full vigilance of the culture of the code of law. The cases heard before these tribunals demonstrate the success of this institution in resolving conflict in the region, which may be characterized as benevolent, due to its search for conciliation between the parties and prioritization of the common good over strict legal procedure, without compromising its correctional functions when deemed necessary.
