Legal cultures are social ordering systems. By analogy with the general concept of culture, they are inherently dynamic, adapting to interactions with individuals, groups and other institutions in which they are embedded. Legal pluralism situation exposes this dynamic aspect since the different legal cultures interpenetrate and oppose each other. Borrowing, creolization and resistance processes are emerging between legal cultures. In contemporary Africa, and in the specific case of Burkina Faso, colonial heritage and transnational processes contribute to the complexity of the local legal pluralism. The result is a plural and heterogeneous legal social universe where legal cultures compete on a daily basis for their legitimacy and authority over their respective areas of action. Based on the results of an ethnographic study, we have observed that, because of the plurality of legal cultures, there is a variety of legal consciousness and mobilization practices among the population. This promotes the use of forum shopping for the resolution of family conflicts. This phenomenon of navigation between the modes of conflict resolution illustrates the inventive character of the social actors and participates in the creation and the transformation of the legal cultures through daily actions.
