Abstract
idea of legal pluralism within one society appeared in anthropology, though not in a very systematic form, in the work of K. N. Llewellyn and E. A. Hoebel The Cheyenne Way from 1941. Hoebel later withdrew from their common positions. In the 1950s the question of multiplicity of legal systems was further studied by an American anthropologist of Czech origin, Leopold Pospisil. This perspective has become one of the pillars of his comparative theory, empirically substantiated by his field research work. In this paper we focus more closely on Pospisil´s understanding of law and its functioning at different legal levels.
