  The Criminal Procedure (Scotland) Act 1995 provides a full copy of the Act with authoritative section-by-section commentary by Robert Shiels and Iain Bradley. All legislative amendments have been noted and incorporated into this third edition taking account of the Crime and Punishment (Scotland) Act 1997 and the Crime and Disorder Act 1998 and the Bail, Judicial Appointments etc. (Scotland) Act 2000. The 1995 Act is the most important piece of legislation relating to Scots criminal procedure in many years, and represents major reform for the current generation of Scots criminal practitioners. It represents the consolidation of existing criminal procedure with new matters. In excess of some 300 sections and with 10 schedules, the Criminal Procedure (Scotland) Act 1995 clearly demonstrates the immediate effect of the daily practice of trials in Scotland and the consequences for Scotland's criminal practitioners.
