Abstract
Customary dispute resolution mechanisms are the traditional practices used to resolve conflicts and maintain peace and stability in the community (1). Due to the multi-ethnic composition in Ethiopia, there is no uniform application of customary law all over the country. For instance, the institution of Gada system in Oromo, shimagalle in Amhara and the other ethnic groups has similarly adopted their dispute resolution systems based on their own values and norms (2).
