About this guide
So you got caught, were unlucky or otherwise are on your way to a Scottish criminal court. What next?
Don’t panic! The criminal legal system is scary and confusing, but SCALP members have pooled many years of experience in the courtroom to bring you this bumper guide that will explain all the legalese and hopefully be part of setting up a great defence. If you have additional questions – please get in touch to see if we can help.
This guide is produced by SCALP, in collaboration with the Climate Action Support Pathway (CASP) to inform people who are being prosecuted, might be prosecuted in the future, or are supporting others in the court process.
We’d love to translate this guide – please get in touch if you’d like to help.
This guide is produced and maintained by SCALP members. It is free to use and print, and we encourage people to share it widely.
