Welcome to Scottish Law Online

Introduction...
Welcome to Scottish Law Online, a web portal for lawyers, solicitors or advocates, academics, students or the public who are interested in Scots Law. The site is completely independent and is not associated with any University, Law Firm, the Law Society of Scotland or the Scottish Parliament.
Resources	A to Z of the Law of Scotland
By clicking the resources link above you can access links to courts, legislation, organisations, governments, professional bodies, societies, universities, journals, publishers bookshops and a lot more of relevance to the Scottish Law Community. The Practical Resources area has practical tools for lawyers.	Links to over 50 areas of Scottish law covering everything from arbitration to workplace health and safety. Other areas of law include banking law, contract, delict, employment, corporate, family, divorce, computer, conveyancing, human rights, international, immigration, consumer law, personal injury law and many more.

Trainees can find information about the Traineeship in this area.
Search Law	Scots Law Student Journal
Facility and tool to help lawyers search the legal web. Aside from allowing users to search Scottish Law Online itself, the facility allows quicker legal research to be conducted across a wide range of scots, UK and world legal resources on the internet in Scotland, the UK and Worldwide. This area can also be used to search this site, Google and the DMOZ directory.	The first ever Scots Law Web Journal, launched in October 2000 and based on the Scots Law Student Zone. The journal has essays and dissertations submitted by students at Scottish Universities but is open to contributions from anyone in the legal community. Areas covered include competition law, computer law, defamation, taxation and medical law.

The information available is not limited to Scotland in the UK but includes worldwide links.	The News Centre features links to all UK and many International newspapers and online news sources as well as live newsfeeds providing up to the minute breaking news on a variety of Scottish and world business and general interest topics.
Also worth mentioning...
The Corporate Zone has company information, Companies House forms, Annual Reports, shares, trading, Exchanges and more. The European Zone has legislation, courts, institutions, information, law and other things as well. The Practical Resources area has a hell of a lot of tools which should be of use to lawyers in everyday practice. It also has Mystery Tours from Delia Venables' site which are relevant to Scotland.
No more law please...
Don't worry, this site is not all law! There are many other links to non law sites on the Recreation Zone which has sport, a Games Zone, music, clubs, humour, web stuff, magazines, TV, radio and more. And on the News Zone which has links to most news sources in the UK and many worldwide ones too. The Shopping Zone has lots of products for sale on UK websites and a different design to the other pages to make it easier to use.
Supporters
This site features a number of adverts and promotions from Amazon, Clickdocs, Lastminute, Paramount Zone, Valueclick and Tradedoubler. Click on these links to support the site. A few areas specifically promote the site and these are the Webrings and Banners areas.
Final word...
The legal web is no longer as small as it was when this site first started in 1997. Let me know if you come across a site you think should be added or if you find a dead link on this site.
