It’s right to be proud of Scots law but justice must come first

As a graduate in law I have always been proud of the independence (and superiority?) of Scots Law, based as it is on Roman Law.

I therefore resented the introduction of the UK Supreme Court as a higher court of appeal than our own Scottish Appeal Court, especially as the new court was not even in existence when the Devolution Act was passed confirming the status of the Scottish legal system.
