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.
