Scottish Law is a distinct legal system that operates in Scotland, separate from the legal systems of England and Wales. It is based on a combination of statutory law, common law, and civil law principles. The legal framework is shaped by historical traditions and modern legislation, with the Scottish Parliament playing a key role in creating laws. The system is characterized by its unique terminology and procedures, including the use of Sheriff Courts and High Courts for different types of cases. Legal professionals in Scotland include solicitors and advocates, who represent clients in various legal matters, from criminal cases to civil disputes.
