About this event

Court judgments from the Common law world are commonly referred to by Scottish legal practitioners. This happens despite the fact that Scotland is not a Common law jurisdiction and Scots law is said to be founded on distinct principles, rather than precedents. Precedents – from around the world – often throw up novel and interesting factual scenarios, however.

This event, consequently, brings together a range of subject-experts to talk about recent precedents from outwith Scotland, with a view to analysing how such cases should be handled, according to the principles of Scots law, should similar factual situations occur in this jurisdiction.

We invite legal practitioners, sheriffs, judges, legal academics, law students and anyone else with an interest in Scots law and justice to attend.

The event will begin with a networking lunch at 12:30pm.
