Neil Walker is Regius Professor of Public Law and the Law of Nature and Nations in the School of Law, University of Edinburgh.
MacCormick's Scotland sets out to explain the distinctiveness of
MacCormick's life and thought in terms of his Scottishness....Taken
as a whole the book shows how MacCormick's conerns, agendas and
distinctive ideas have deep roots in Scottish, history, culture,
polictics, institutions, law and, above all, the Scottish
Enlightenment. But it makes clear that his influence and
significance reach far beyond Scotland.... --William Twining,
University College London "Cambridge Law Journal, Volume 72 Part
2"
Professor Sir Neil MacCormick, FRSE, FBA (always in that order:
with the Edinburgh society preceding the British Academy on his
business card!), LLD, Jur.Dr.h. c. (multi!), QC, Regius Chair of
Public Law and the Law of Nature and Nations at Edinburgh and MEP,
was one of the greatest contemporary legal scholars in Scotland and
furth its shores until his untimely death in 2009. Neil Walker and
his colleagues put together this set of essays as a tribute to this
great man.... Limitations of space militate against a review of all
the contributions to this work, but all are stimulating and
insightful. --Scott Crichton Styles, University of Aberdeen "The
Edinburgh Law Review, 17.3 (2013), http:
