The Stair Memorial Encyclopaedia is the only comprehensive and authoritative narrative treatment of the law of Scotland and is the cornerstone of the Scots lawyer's library. The work is arranged in an alphabetical title scheme of over 120 titles, from the Administrative Law Reissue title to Wills and Succession in volume 25. Written by or in conjunction with leading lawyers, both practitioners and academics, it ensures that users benefit from a wealth of knowledge and experience. The text of those titles is supplemented by a regular comprehensive updating service written by a team of in-house editors in the form of annotations: all primary and secondary legislation and all leading law reports are monitored for developments that affect the law set out in the encyclopaedia.

The Stair Memorial Encyclopaedia links to these other LexisLibrary sources:

Halsbury's Laws of England
New Law Journal
PSL (modules on Building Contracts, Capital Taxes, Company Law, Pensions, Revenue, Value Added Tax)
SCCR
SCLR
Session Cases
