These range from a concern with the development of legal regulation to the relationship between social change and the justice system, as well as his particularly interest in the limitations on the accessibility of the justice system. This tribute provides a microcosm of the changes and shifts which occurred in legal education and the legal profession in the years between 1964 and the current century. The profound impact of Ian Willock’s life work is evident through the wide-ranging essays in this collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eA highly impressive and strikingly eclectic series of contributions ranging from Jurisprudence to lawyer diversity, from legal history to the work of law centres and from the Jury in Scotland to the Not Proven verdict. The breadth of the collection brilliantly evokes Ian Willock’s passionate commitment to the reform of many aspects of Scots Law and the Scottish Legal System. A commitment attested to not just in his teaching and writings but in his outstanding work as the Editor of SCOLAG and his involvement with the Dundee Law Clinic.\u003c\/p\u003e -- Alan Paterson, Strathclyde University Law School\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis edited collection offers a worthy tribute to Professor Ian Willock. Many of the legal themes which epitomised his work, such as the role of juries in Scottish criminal trials, including the option for them to deliver a ‘not proven’ verdict, remain as relevant and as contested today as they did when Ian wrote about them, more than 50 years ago. I taught an Honours level course in Criminal Law with Ian for several years, and it is his work in this field with which I am most familiar, but other topics which are explored in this volume of essays – housing law, immigration law, the meaning of justice, and the role of women in the law – reflect his central concern with law as a mechanism for social change. As we face rising fuel and food costs, greater use of food banks, and a growing crisis of refugees from Europe and beyond, this book serves as a timely reminder of Ian’s belief that law can be a force against oppression and unfairness, and emphasises the need for those of us in the legal academy and beyond to champion on behalf of greater social justice.\u003c\/p\u003e -- Pamela Ferguson, University of Dundee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eForeword \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLynda Clark, Baroness Clark of Calton PC KC PhD\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEamon P.H.
