Understanding Scottish Law
What you need to know
Scotland has its own distinct legal system, based on civil law rather than the common law system used in England and Wales. The legal system in Scotland is also divided into two main branches: civil law, which deals with private disputes between individuals, and criminal law, which deals with offenses against the state.
In Scotland, there are three main levels of courts: the Justice of the Peace Court, the Sheriff Court, and the High Court of Justiciary. Each level of court deals with different types of cases, ranging from minor offenses to serious crimes.
