The Scottish Universities Law Institutes and the Edinburgh Centre for Private Law are delighted to invite you to join us to celebrate the launch of the second edition of Personal Bar by Professors Elspeth Reid and John Blackie, hosted by the Faculty of Advocates in Edinburgh.
When published in 2006, Personal Bar was the first systematisation of the subject since Rankine's The Law of Personal Bar in 1921. The foremost authority of the modern law, it has graced the bookshelves of every creditable collection of legal tomes since. The second edition brings the reader up to date with the latest case law and statutory developments, including commentary and insights up to 1 October 2024.
