Reviews
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 Lardy * Public Law *
