"Filmed in the village of Agadez in northern Niger, this films chronicles seven typical cases heard by the local Cadi. The film unobtrusively witnessess these seven stories - small civil disputes, domestic conflicts, marriage problems, accusations of theft. Justice at Agadez not only demonstrates the power of Islamic religious beliefs in enforcing both moral and civil behavior but also provides viewers a rare opportunity to see how Islamic law, unlike the manner in which it has often been sensationalized in the Western media, actually functions on an everyday basis."

""À Agadez, au Niger, il y a des policiers et des tribunaux, comme ailleurs. Mais il existe à côté d'eux un deuxième système judiciaire, héritage vivant d'une tradition musulmane empreinte du cosmopolitisme de la capitale touarègue. Le Cadi est une sorte de juge de paix traditionnel, dont la référence est le Coran. La charia du Cadi d'Agadez n'a cependant rien à voir avec les fanatismes, ni avec les cruautés des émirats. Pondération et bon sens, psychologie et connaissance des réalités... Les audiences sont la scène magnifique et émouvante où se représente toute une société. Elles offrent aussi un regard sur la tradition et la pratique musulmanes, dégagé des clichés et banalités du fracas médiatique."--Boîtier."
