The Faculty of Advocates is a body of advocates (lawyers) admitted to practice in the courts of Scotland. Primarily issued in parts, the decisions included here span time frames from 1735-1739, 1792-1793, 1794-1795 and 1795-1796, with the Court's term lasting from June to November. The first compilation (presumably the first of two parts) has been attributed by some to Lord Kames [1696-1782], the leading Scott.
