Following a competitive recruitment exercise earlier this year, the Scottish Council of Law Reporting has announced the appointment of 5 advocates to the law reporting panel for Session Cases, including Ampersand’s Scott Clair. He joins other Ampersand members on the panel Giles Reid and Alexander Sutherland, and Deputy Editor Tim Young,

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.
