Abstract
This article is a revised version of an address given at the Annual General Meeting of the Stair Society on 6 November 1999. It explores three issues relating to the use of the Civil Law in Scotland. The first is the distinction to be drawn between Roman Law and the Civil Law and the use that can be made of the Civil Law as distinct from Roman Law. The second is the issue of reception of another legal system, the reception of the Civil Law in Scotland in particular, and the countervailing influence of English law. The third is the place of Roman Law and the Civil Law in legal education in Scotland.
