Reflecting on the first decade of the review, Lord Woolman writes in his foreword: “Each issue displays a breadth of interest, an intellectual curiosity and a commitment to good writing.”

He adds: “The abstracts for Volume 10 suggest that the pattern continues. I congratulate the authors and the editors on a fascinating set of articles. It’s clear that they result from deep thought and hard work. That, in a nutshell, is the life of the law.”

The review was founded in 2010 by Dominic Scullion.

Mr Scullion, who called to the bar this year and is a member of Ampersand Advocates, gave his profound thanks to the “2011-2020 generation of ASLR editors for continuing where we left off” and “fixing what we got wrong”.

In his anniversary note, he adds: “I know I speak for all of us back in 2010 in saying that it is enormously encouraging to see this adventure from our days as students in the silver city with the golden sands continue to flourish.”

He dedicated the volume to the late Professor David Lessels, “a teacher and mentor to generations of students at Aberdeen, a supporter of the Aberdeen Student Law Review in its embryonic stages, and a friend of mine”. 

Articles in the latest volume include Alexander Johnson’s Should the Jurisdiction of the Scottish Land Court be Expanded to the Scottish Land and Environmental Court?; The Future of Choice of Court and Arbitration Agreements under the New York Convention, the Hague Choice of Court Convention, and the Draft Hague Judgments Convention by Rouzana Kasem; and How Could the Current Non-Proliferation Regime Be Improved? by Alina Holzhausen.
