Session Cases
CELEBRATING TWO HUNDRED YEARS OF SESSION CASES 1821 – 2021
The Scottish Council of Law Reporting’s major publication is its law report series, Session Cases.
The Session Cases law report series contains all the key appellate decisions, civil and criminal, from the Court of Session and High Court of Justiciary in Scotland together with selected cases decided at first instance.
Also included in Session Cases are all decisions, as issued, on Scottish appeals to the House of Lords and to the Privy Council. All judgments are reported in full.
The judges who gave opinions (judgments) in each case have the opportunity to review the report before it is published – this gives Session Cases its unsurpassed authority in Scottish courts.
A distinguishing feature of Session Cases is that its reports are written and edited by lawyers with rights of audience in the Courts whose cases are reported in the series.
Session Cases take precedence over all other law report series in Scotland.
All cases are reported under headnotes and rubrics, providing the user with an easily absorbed guide to the subjects, the facts and the grounds for the decision.
A useful feature is the summary of the arguments presented to the court.
