Legislation is an important source of law within the Scottish legal system. Legislation is law made by – or under the authority of – a legislature (e.g. Parliament).

In this class we will look at how to find legislation. We will focus on using legal databases to do this.

  • Be able to state the main types of legislation affecting Scotland
  • Understand how a piece of legislation can be amended over time
  • Know where to find legislation online and in the Library
