<![CDATA[The Baduy indigenous community maintains a traditional inheritance legal system that continues to function effectively amid legal pluralism and social change in Indonesia. However, studies linking the resolution of traditional inheritance disputes to the civic values of Pancasila remain limited. This study aims to analyze the Baduy community’s legal culture in resolving traditional inheritance disputes and to examine the manifestations of Pancasila’s civic values embedded within it. The research employs a qualitative case study method conducted in Kanekes Village, Lebak Regency, Banten Province. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, documentation, and literature review, involving the Head of Kanekes Village (Jaro Pamarentah), traditional leaders, and members of the Baduy community selected through purposive sampling. Data analysis was conducted using the Grounded Theory technique through the stages of open coding, axial coding, and selective coding. The research findings indicate that inheritance distribution is based on a process that involves the stages of open, axial family deliberation, mutual agreement, and consideration of the heirs’ needs and responsibilities. Disputes are resolved through non-litigation mechanisms involving traditional leaders and the Jaro as mediators to restore family harmony. These practices reflect the civic values of Pancasila, particularly deliberation to reach consensus, social justice, social responsibility, and harmony. This research contributes to the development of studies on legal culture, customary law, and Pancasila and Citizenship Education by demonstrating the relevance of local wisdom in building a peaceful, just, community-based model of dispute resolution.]]>
