ABOUT

I’m Andrew Crosbie, an Advocate at the Scottish Bar. You can view my Faculty of Advocates profile here.

I started this site in my spare time, with the aim of creating a free and accessible Scottish criminal law resource.

New pages will be added when my baby and work commitments allow me a few precious minutes of free time, so please bear with me. You can browse the site by using the drop-down menus at the top of the page.
