Scots Law

Legal definition for Indian law research

Definition

Scots law is mainly derived from the Civil Law, and differs in many points from the English, as by assuring a man's widow and children two-thirds of his personal property (see LEGITIM), and by the legitimation of children born before marriage (see LEGITIMATION).

Definitions are for legal research. Always verify meaning in the context of the statute, judgment, or jurisdiction cited.
