This well-established text provides an up-to-date treatment of all significant developments affecting the Scottish legal system. It covers not only the central aspects of the system, such as the courts and the legal profession, but also the common areas with constitutional law and jurisprudence.
The Seventh Edition includes new case law on devolution and human rights issues in Scotland. It also covers the changes to the sources of law of the European Union and the principles of application of EU law following Brexit.
This title is included in Bloomsbury Professional's Scots Law Student online service.
Lorna MacFarlane graduated from Edinburgh University with an LL.B. Scots Law (Hons) degree in 2012. After working for a year as a Legal Assistant at the Scottish Law Commission (working primarily on the Contract Law project with Professor Hector MacQueen), she returned to Edinburgh University for postgraduate studies. Her LL.M. by Research and Ph.D. both focused on Scots contract law. Thereafter Lorna undertook the Diploma in Legal Practice and completed a traineeship with Dentons. Since September 2019, she has worked as a solicitor in Dentons’ Dispute Resolution team. She also continues to tutor at Edinburgh University.
