Abstract:  
This article is dedicated to the question of revival and development of people’s justice in the Republic of Abkhazia. The author analyzes the following stages of functionality of quasi-judicial tribunals in the Autonomous Republic of Abkhazia: post-Soviet (the collapse of Soviet state and legal system, and Abkhaz–Georgian conflict; and modern (the establishment of the Republic of Abkhazia and functioning of the official court system). It is underlined that if initially, in absence of the state judicial bodies, people’s justice was much needed, then in current realities, its impact diminishes over time. The author determines that at the present stage, the traditional judicial bodies faded have lost their former importance and carry no social weight (considering the substitution of authority in youth environment). The formed by them legal and moral-ethical practice continues to affect the modern Abkhaz society, including the public officials.
