For conflict resolution, people usually resort to judiciary systems or to the tribal Jirga system. Although Loralai District is a peaceful area, sometimes conflicts between two individuals could lead to tribal vendetta. In such cases the tribal Jirga system is more effective than government judiciary. The Jirga system is the traditional system of justice which was actively practised to settle legal cases and disputes. The system was in practice during British time, and was modified under a special provision by Ordinance (criminal provisions-2) of 1968 to make the justice more easily accessible. The system was abolished in 1991, but the people can still form a provisional type of Jirga comprising of notables when there is need of conflict resolution, rising from the disputes among the people. Whenever there is a dispute between two persons or parties, the notables of one side go for reconciliation to the other party and sit together to resolve the issue. Sometimes the dispute is resolved through imposition of penalties in the form of cash, land, kind or by marrying women to the inflicted side.
