DIGITAL EXPLAINERS

Where curiosity meets Scots criminal law...

Inside the digital explainer?

When someone says “I didn’t really mean it”, does the law agree? 

Intention sits at the heart of Scots criminal law, and it’s often far more complex than people expect.

This digital explainer uses real cases to unpack how intention is identified, and how responsibility is judged even when outcomes are unexpected.

Here’s a short taster...

DIGITAL EXPLAINERS

Learn Scots criminal law for the joy of it.

Digital Explainers are short, accessible learning experiences designed for people who are curious about Scots criminal law.

No exams, no assessments and no pressure.

Just clear explanations, real cases, and time to think.

WHAT ARE THEY?

Our digital explainers break down the foundations of Scots criminal law in a way that is engaging, thoughtful, and easy to follow.

They are:

  • Pre-recorded and watch-anytime

  • Structured but relaxed

  • Grounded in real Scottish cases

  • Designed for understanding, not memorisation

You can watch in one sitting or dip in and out. You can take notes, or just listen and reflect. 

WHO ARE THEY FOR?

Digital Explainers are ideal for:

  • People who enjoy true crime and want to understand the law behind the headlines

  • Those curious about how Scots criminal law actually works

  • Students or professionals who want a refresher without the pressure

  • Anyone who enjoys learning for its own sake

No legal background is needed. Everything is explained from first principles.

HOW THIS LEARNING FEELS

This is not formal legal training.

There are:

  • No tests to pass

  • No certificates to earn

  • No expectation to “keep up”

Instead, you will be guided through ideas like intention, responsibility, and criminal liability in a way that invites reflection rather than performance.

Think of it as sitting in on a thoughtful conversation about the law, led by someone who knows it well and enjoys explaining it.

WHAT WILL YOU EXPLORE?

Across the Digital Explainers collection, you will:

  • Understand the core building blocks of Scots criminal law

  • Learn how courts reason about conduct, risk, and intention

  • See how legal tests are applied in real Scottish cases

  • Build confidence in your understanding without feeling overwhelmed

Each explainer stands alone, but together they build a strong foundation.
