<p>This article delves into an analysis of the sources of contract law and property law, aiming to explore how the sources of civil law, despite their universalistic aims, predominantly reflect the legal issues faced by corporate entities and affluent individual. The article posits that this tendency is primarily driven by structural and epistemic inequalities in the generation of legal knowledge. In essence, traditional methods of establishing legal knowledge, disparities in access to the legal system, as well as the social standing of those authorized to shape civil norms and the knowledge about these norms significantly influence the kinds of issues, actors, and worldviews that permeate this body of knowledge. This results in a noticeable absence of representation for underprivileged individual within this legal framework. Ultimately, the article calls for a thoughtful consideration of ways to better acknowledge the experiences of poor individuals with civil law, despite the socio-economic and epistemic constraints that are brought to light.</p>
