%X In this paper, three distinctive groups of evidence are presented with the aim to analyze the role played by the "ka"-servant in certain legal procedures of the Old Kingdom. At first, based on a specific kind of clause found in the funerary contracts, we examine the relationship of the "ka"-servant with the procedure of dispute resolution within the institution of the "ḥmw-kȝ". At second, by means of an iconographic analysis, we studied his role in the so-called scenes of ‘rendering accounts’, which show it activity in the oversight of the funerary estate; At the same time, we focus in a particular scene which shows the "ḥmw-kȝ" conducting a prisoner, that I interpreted as a possible sacrificial human victim, real or fictive. At last, we point out the action of the ka-servants as witness in the signing of legal documents.
