Scottish Legal News (SLN) is a free online news service for the Scottish legal sector.

Established in 2008, [3] its daily content, distributed online and by email, includes a blackletter case law report as well as law firm announcements, such as appointments and promotions; legislative changes; international human rights stories; and events and job opportunities. [4]

A poll commissioned by the Law Society of Scotland in 2012 found that 76 percent of Scottish solicitors regularly read Scottish Legal News. [5]

The publication's editorials and surveys of the legal profession, on wide-ranging issues including Brexit, [6] [7] lawyers' safety, [8] and major legal reforms, [9] regularly attract wider press attention.

The publication is edited by Kapil Summan and the managing editor is Graham Ogilvy.
