In June 1998, the Faculty of Law of the University of Edinburgh held a conference of academics, judges and distinguished practitioners from the UK and abroad to discuss the implications of the incorporation of the ECHR into Scots law. The contributors to this book consider the impact of the Human Rights Act in light of the new constitutional settlement for Scotland and their experiences of other rights regimes in Europe, the Commonwealth, and the United States. Topics included are an analysis of the Human Rights Act and Scotland Act; human rights and the law of crime, property, employment, family and private life; Scottish court practice and procedure; Scots law and the European dimension; and building a rights culture in Scotland.
Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
This is a valuable collection, rewarding its readers with fresh insights into - and provocative assessments of - the challenges faced by Scots law as it seeks to accommodate the concepts and practices of human rights. The book will be of considerable interest also to lawyers in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, who will find in it a very worthwhile comparative analysis of the issues faced by their neighbouring legal system as it struggles to adapt to reforms similar to those which their own systems also confront. It is certainly recommended reading for all public and private lawyers with an interest in the complexities of this multi-dimensional constitutional change.Heather LardyPublic LawDecember 2003
