Texas Lawyer writes, at Volokh,
Scotland isn't actually a common-law jurisdiction, though. I believe it's more properly a mixed jurisdiction, incorporating elements of common law &civil law. For example, they don't have contracts, they have obligations, and they don't have tort, they have delict. See Prof. Tetley's article on this. http://www.mcgill.ca/files/maritimelaw/mixedjur.pdf
