In civil cases, legal aid is also available for those who cannot afford legal representation. Without legal aid, many individuals might not have the means to defend themselves, leading to miscarriages of justice.

From the High Court of Justiciary to the Justice of the Peace Courts, Scotland’s legal system reflects centuries of tradition alongside ongoing reform.

The history of legal aid in the UK dates back to 1949, when the Legal Aid and Advice Act was passed. It deals with the most serious crimes, such as murder, rape, and major drug offences. Legal aid ensures that defendants have proper legal representation to challenge the evidence against them, cross-examine witnesses, and ensure that their rights are protected throughout the trial.

It also acts as the court of criminal appeal. Certain matters—such as immigration, constitutional law, and human rights—can be appealed to the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom, which serves as the highest appellate court for civil matters from Scotland. For example, housing organizations, domestic abuse shelters, and consumer advocacy groups often have legal teams that provide free legal advice to their clients.
