This study examines the model of dispute resolution based on local wisdom in the indigenous Rongkong community in North Luwu Regency. The existence of customary dispute resolution mechanisms reflects the living law that functions to maintain social harmony. However, the dominance of formal legal systems has led to the marginalization of these local mechanisms. This study aims to identify the forms and mechanisms of customary dispute resolution, analyze their effectiveness, and construct a conceptual model that can be integrated into the national legal system. This research uses an empirical legal method with a socio-legal approach. Primary data were obtained through in-depth interviews with customary leaders and community members, while secondary data were collected from legal documents and relevant literature. The data were analyzed qualitatively through data reduction, categorization, and interpretation. The results show that dispute resolution in the Rongkong community emphasizes deliberation, consensus, and restoration of social relations. This mechanism is effective in maintaining social order but lacks formal recognition and systematic structure. Therefore, this study proposes a structured model of local wisdom-based dispute resolution that is adaptive and compatible with the national legal framework.
