Scottish Law Commission

The Scottish Law Commission is a government-appointed organization that reviews, updates, and recommends reforms to Scotland’s legal system. Its goal is to make laws clearer, more modern, and better suited to current societal needs. The Commission conducts detailed research, consults with experts and the public, and proposes legislative changes to Parliament. By doing so, it helps ensure that Scottish laws are fair, coherent, and effective in regulating various aspects of society, including contracts, property, family law, and criminal justice.
