- Abstract
This article presents the life and work of Andrew MacDouall - a Scottish advocate, one of the judges of the Court of Session, who presided under the name of Lord Bankton, and an institutional writer. The author's aim is to present the career of this jurist who combined the excellence of his legal practice with a comparative overview of the legal system of Scotland in the 18th century. The result of this activity is a three-volume legal treatise entitled "Institute of the Laws of Scotland," which was published between 1751 and 1753. Thanks to the merits of his works, Bankton gained recognition in the eyes of the contemporary Scottish legal practice, which gave him a prominent place among the preeminent representatives of Scottish jurisprudence whose opinions were treated as a subsidiary source of law.
