Many Members of the Scottish Legal Profession Were Surprised, Open
I!!!I SCOTTISH LEGAL EDUCATION AND THE LEGAL PROFESSION DAvID EDWARD Many members of the Scottish legal profession were surprised, open• ing their Scotsman on January 24, 1990, to find a centre-page article by Professor William Wilson entitled The Death Sentence for Scots Law. It began: "The Law Reform (Miscellaneous Provisions) (Scotland) Bill,pre• sently before parliament, should be titled the Scots Law (Abolition) Bill because that indicates its object and probable effect. Like all such bills, it is a cocktail:on top float a few cherries and bubbles-easier divorce, control of charities, licensing reform-which will no doubt attract most of parliaments's attention. "Under the surface, however, fulminates a toxic brew which may well prove fatal to the Scottish legal system and to the law of Scotland-the provisions which will alter the structure of the legal profession," Up to that time, Bill Wilson had not generally been seen as the doughtiest champion of the Scottish profession nor, in particular, of the Faculty of Advocates which, after completing his period of devil• ling, he decided at the last moment not to join. But there could be no doubt as to the authorship of this scathing philippic. No-one else could have written: "It seems surprising that we give an expensive education lasting several years to intending solicitors and advocates to equip them to appear in court, but, apparently, any Tom, Dick or Harry is to be able to come in off the street and give the judges the patter. It is a striking feature of the bill that it pays hardly

Scottish Advocates
1 The more things change, the more they stay the same: Explaining stratification within the Faculty of Advocates, Scotland Angela Melville and Frank Stephen School of Law, University of Manchester Abstract Since the 1970s the legal profession has become increasingly diversified. However the inclusion of traditionally excluded social groups has not eradicated inequalities. This paper attempts to explain the contradiction between increasing diversification and persistence of inequalities by examining changes in the structure of the Faculty of Advocates in Scotland. We observe significance changes over the last 40 years, especially the increasing numbers of women entering the Faculty. Yet, women still face discrimination, and their success has largely been at the expense of working-class aspirants. We argue that existing theoretical perspectives, namely feminism and Bourdieu, as well as new insights offered by Beck, are insufficient to account for stratification within the legal profession. We call for a new theoretical perspective which accounts for both social change and persistence of inequalities, and suggest that such an approach is best offered by a feminist reworking of Bourdieu.

Pragmatism and Theory in English Law
THE HAMLYN LECTURES Thirty-ninth series Pragmatism and Theory in English Law STEVENS Pragmatism and in English Law by P. S. Atiyah The English legal system is traditionally regarded as beir highly pragmatic in its style and in its approach to th resolution of disputes. In contrast to those working withill continental legal systems. English judges are seen, fa instance, as basing their decisions on practical experienc and precedent rather than on logical or rational principles In this stimulating series of Hamlyn Lectures, Profess Atiyah re-appraises these assumptions. In the first thr lectures, he demonstrates that the English tradition indeed pragmatic and points to examples both of the con^ siderable strengths and of the serious weaknesses which flow from this However, in the final lecture, the author argues that there is nevertheless a great deal of implicit theory within the English legal system and that the work of academics has had a far greater influence on the devel- opment of the law than is often acknowledged. This ha been seen in, for example, the development of contrac law in the nineteenth century and, more recently, th House of Lords decision in R. v. Shwpuri. This lively and thought-provoking examination of son of the most widely held assumptions underlying the Eng lish legal system by a leading academic lawyer will be i great interest to teachers, students and practitioner indeed, anyone interested in the English legal system.
