Scots Law

Scots Law is the legal system governing Scotland, combining influences from Roman law, Scottish common law, and legislation. It is distinct from English law and operates through courts, statutes, and legal principles to resolve disputes, uphold rights, and enforce laws. Key features include a mix of statutory law (passed by Parliament), case law (court decisions), and European legal influences. Scots Law covers areas like criminal law, civil rights, property, and family law, and is administered by courts such as Sheriff Courts and the Court of Session. It aims to provide fair, consistent justice within Scotland's legal framework.
