The purpose of this article is to contribute to the studies of legal anthropology from a discussion of criminalizing people processes participating in illegal drug trade networks, and therefore are covered by the law as “Dealers”. To study the phenomenon, we employ two categories: "slippery" and "supporters" (in relation to mesh the criminal justice system). O Our work strategy consisted of a combination of methods that included: 1) reading processes involving "trafficking drugs" (common and international); 2) ethnographies carried out under the courts in Rio de Janeiro; and 3) dialogue with lawyers who are active in this area, including conducting recorded interviews.
