Editorial Guidelines for Scots Law Blog Submissions

  • Blog posts should provide useful legal information or news on areas of Scots Law that will be of interest to our audiences.
  • Blog posts can be of any length but should ideally be over 500 words.
  • Original blog posts are preferred although we are also open to republishing content already published elsewhere if of value to our readership.
  • Use subheadings where appropriate using the H1, H2 and H3 tagging functions.
  • Blog posts are welcome from Scots law students, lawyers, barristers, law firms in Scotland and also non-lawyers, particularly those looking to ask legal questions. Posts are also welcome from those who live outside of Scotland with an interest in Scots law.
  • Respect the copyright in the work of others.
  • Include video and images where relevant if you have the rights to use them. YouTube videos, for instance, can easily be embedded in posts to help improve your posts.

  • If posting affiliate links, please make readers aware that they are such.
  • Include a short professional bio at the beginning or end of your posts.
  • Share your submission with your contacts through your social networks.
