The main aim of this class is to introduce students to the major theoretical ideas and values which underlie law, and debates. The majority of an LLB is case law based and doctrinal in nature and this class looks behind the law as it is presented and offers philosophical, social theoretical perspective on its form and application. This class thereby enhances students’ understanding of law in general, forms a very important bridge to Honours subjects and post-graduate study. It is also an important subject and basis for developing an inter-disciplinary understanding of law in society.

This is a basic introductory class to the subject of competition law which is particularly significant in the global market economy.

Sports Law will allow students to engage with the legal issues encountered in contemporary sport, and understand the legal principles and institutions that regulate sporting activity. The class will focus on the law of Scotland and, given the jurisdictions are generally similar in their approach to this area, the law of England and Wales. The class is therefore open to all students on the Law School’s various LLB programmes. It will also be open as an elective to BA students, subject to their having previously completed the Legal Methods class. The class will recognise the multi-national nature of sporting competitions and commercial relationships. In so far as topics allow, the class will adopt a comparative and global approach to provide an overview of international sports laws.

The enduring influence of Roman law is one of Scots law’s great USPs, and ensures the jurisdiction’s place as one of the small number of mixed (Civilian/common) legal systems to be found around the world. Scots law has been described as existing within a ‘living Roman legal system’ due to its uncodified nature and history as a part of the Continental European legal tradition. Study of the general principles of Roman law consequently aligns with the study of any Scots LLB degree. The class will allow students to develop an appreciation of the general rules which underpin modern doctrines within the Scottish legal system and to obtain a better understanding of how Roman law has informed the modern practice of Scots law.

This course focuses on examining the nature of law and the ways in which law interacts with social life. You will be challenged to look beyond the letter of the law to consider the theoretical underpinnings of law and to consider its application in society and to particular groups in society. Lectures are structured around three key topics: law and morality; judicial decision making; and critical legal theories. The module has three overarching aims: To identify the limitations of legal formalism; and to recognise how both theoretical and empirical knowledge is essential to the study of law; To understand the ethical, cultural and political underpinnings of law; On the basis of careful reasoning, to be able to identify and evaluate practical and principled difficulties likely to arise from the application of law in society.

Commercial Law is a core module for all LLB students, covering a broad range of subjects in the commercial field. The general academic aim of the Module is to provide students with an understanding of company and commercial law in a Scottish context. The Module meets the commercial law subject requirements and related skills outcomes of the Law Society of Scotland and the Faculty of Advocates. The general academic objective of the course is to introduce and examine the basic principles and rules concerning core aspects of commercial law, including the main principles of agency, partnership and company law, the rules governing the ways in which creditors can ‘secure’ repayment of a debt (e.g. through taking personal guarantees from third parties for repayment of the debt, or by establishing rights in security over debtor property); the basic principles of diligence; the consequences of both corporate and individual debtor inability to repay debts (corporate insolvency and sequestration respectively). While the focus of the Module is on ‘a black letter’ analysis of relevant statutory and common law in the broad company and commercial area, in order to aid understanding of relevant principles, the Module also examines the policy rationales underlying the current law and recent and projected reforms in this area and makes a nod to commercial prerogatives in dispute resolution.
