This book brings together experts in Norwegian and Scottish legal, economic and political history to explore significant points of contact and similarities in the ways in which the laws of Scotland and Norway developed. It breaks new ground, considering Scots law in terms of its historical interactions and similarities with another national legal system, rather than in terms of its place at the intersection between the common law and the civilian traditions. This definite reference work will form the basis of future studies in comparative legal history, and comparative law more generally, in relation to Scotland and Norway.
