Description
The roots of Scots law can be traced to the 1100s. How and why did that law come into being? How was it used in dispute resolution during the medieval and early modern periods? And how did its authority develop over the centuries? This volume explores such questions, introducing readers to the history of the Scottish legal system prior to the 1707 parliamentary union with England.
The chapters have been road-tested with law students. The textbook has been developed with input from legal history lecturers at a number of Scottish universities. Complex and dry legal history is presented through examples and anecdotes, to help students to engage with and understand the material. Material is divided into easily digested chunks, arranged from the perspective of legal history (rather than political, social or economic history)
