"Evidence" by Fraser Davidson (Professor of Law at Stirling University), is due to be published by W Green, in association with SULI, in May. This modern and comprehensive treatment of the Scots law of evidence pays full regard to the human rights dimension of the subject. The author seeks to address the conceptual basis of key doctrines, where appropriate locating them in their historical and comparative context. This will be an invaluable reference tool for both practitioners and academics.
On a different tack - and proving that lawyers are nothing if not versatile, advocate Gillian Galbraith published her first detective novel Blood in the Water in March. Edinburgh detective Alice Rice races against time and an implacable killer to solve a series of grisly murders among the city’s professional elite in the New Town. Alexander McCall Smith calls it a ‘vivid and exciting story, set against the background of Edinburgh’s legal and medical circles. There is not a dull page from start to finish.’ Good holiday reading!

Beyond Dogmatics: Law and Society in the Roman World
J Cairns & PJ Du Plessis (eds)
Publisher: Edinburgh University Press
ISBN: 9780748627936
Expected Publication Date: 31/05/07
£45.00 Hbk
This book is an important contribution to the current lively debate about the relationship between law &
society in the Roman world. This debate has had a profound impact upon the study of law & history & has
created sharply divided opinions on the extent to which law may be said to be a product of the society
that created it.
This work is an attempt to provide a balanced assessment of the various points of view. A distinguished
international group of scholars addresses the debate by focusing on studies of law & empire, codes &
codification, death & economics, commerce & procedure.
This book does not purport to provide a complete survey of Roman private law in light of Roman society.
Its primary aim is to address specific areas of the law with a view to contributing to the
larger debate.
