The career path of recent Scottish law officers

Robin White

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

The Executive's recent proposals on judicial independence include proposals in relation to judicial appointments. However, these are merely the latest in a remarkable series of changes over the last generation, starting with the renunciation by the then Lord Advocate of the right to nominate himself to high judicial office. Mr White considers how, since then, Scottish law officers have fared in elevation to the bench.
