The creation of the Scottish Parliament radically transformed Scotland’s constitutional arrangements, bringing political deliberation, governmental accountability, and law-making closer to the Scottish people, and its impact has extended to many different areas of the wider UK constitution.

During these two decades, Holyrood has been an active legislator and a catalyst for change across most areas of Scots public law and the Scottish legal system, including the significant development of the protection of rights for the people living in Scotland.

The Scottish Public Law Group and the Edinburgh Centre for Constitutional Law are holding a free event that will take place in the Adam Lecture Theatre, Old College, University of Edinburgh, on Thursday 21 March 2019 and will be worth 1.5 hours’ CPD.

The event will be chaired by Kasey McCall-Smith, lecturer in public international law, University of Edinburgh, and will hear from Ken Macintosh MSP, Presiding Officer of the Scottish Parliament and constitutional expert Professor Stephen Tierney, with a third speaker to be announced soon.

Registration is from 17:15. The talks will start at 17:30 and will be followed by a wine reception.
