Civil Justice in Renaissance Scotland: the Origins of a Central Court

Shortlisted for the Society of Legal Scholars Peter Birks Prize for Outstanding Legal Scholarship 2010.

This book involved very large scale academic investment in both the research activity (substantial archival research in late medieval manuscript legal records, reading over 9,500 pages of unindexed manuscript of the acts and decreets of the Scottish lords of council between 1500 and 1535) and the scope of the research output (a 500 page monograph based on complex analysis of the legal content of the records, providing the first ever systematic presentation of sixteenth-century Scots law, litigation and the jurisdiction of the courts based on archival sources), resulting in an output of extended scale and scope which should be double-counted.
