ABSTRACT
This article examines the reconfiguration of legal authority in Idlib, Syria, following the withdrawal of the state in 2011. Covering the period from 2012 to 2024, it traces the emergence, fragmentation, and subsequent reorganization of non-state judicial practices, showing how diverse legal initiatives developed, competed, and were later reshaped through evolving institutional arrangements of the various military factions under conditions of prolonged conflict.
