Welcome to the Scottish Law Commission website

To ensure that our recommendations, if implemented, would result in law which is just, principled, responsive and easy to understand, it is critical for us to engage in a thorough and open process of consultation. We therefore welcome the views of as many people as possible in response to our specific consultations.
