Scottish Judiciary

The Scottish judiciary is the system of courts and judges in Scotland, which operates separately from the rest of the UK. It includes various levels of courts, such as the Supreme Court of Scotland, the Court of Session (which handles civil cases), and the High Court of Justiciary (which deals with serious criminal cases). Judges interpret and apply the law, ensuring justice is served. Scotland has its own legal traditions and laws, shaped by a distinct legal history. This system upholds the rule of law and protects the rights of individuals within Scottish jurisdiction.
