Are there special rules concerning the property relationship between spouses (explaining what is meant by spouses)? If so, briefly indicate the current sources of these rules. a. upon marriage Scots law has a system of separate property during marriage and consequently marriage in itself has no effect on the property of the spouses. This general principle is currently set out in S. 24 of the Scots Family Law Act 1985 which provides that marriage in itself does not affect the property of either spouse. In general, the approach of Scots law is to treat husband and wife as ‘strangers’ 1 in terms of their property, focusing on their property rights rather than on their matrimonial relationship.

The Faculty has been in existence since 1532 when the College of Justice was set up by Act of the Scots Parliament, but its origins are believed to predate that event. It is self- regulating, and the Court delegates to the Faculty the task of preparing Intrants for admission as Advocates. This task involves a process of examination and practical instruction known as devilling, during which Intrants benefit from intensive structured training in the special skills of advocacy.

  • 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
