Talk:Lord President of the Court of Session

message: I think that this article should be moved to Lord President of the Court of Session.  The Lord Justice General is a title held by the Lord President additional to his main.
The Civil Law role of the Lord President is more senior, and the Lord President is also styled as Lord President of the College of Justice which includes the Supreme Courts, the Faculty of Advocates, and other senior officers.
I would like to see this page edited to better explain the origin and current function of the Lord President.

message: It was suggested that this article should be renamed Lord President of the Court of Session.  The vote is shown below: 
Lord President is the senior of the two titles that he/she holds
:Could go either way. The Lord Justice General is, historically, the older and more senior role, but it is probably true that in recent times the LP role is considered more senior. I intend to spend some time filling out the history and role of these posts (also Lord Advocate and Solicitor General) as the articles are very brief.--George Burgess 21:11, 1 August 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Requested move

message: Appendix I to the Oxford Companion to Law, 1980, lists George Gordon, 1st Earl of Aberdeen as Lord President from 1681 to 1682. However the article on him suggests that he was in fact Lord President of the Privy Council of Scotland, a separate office.--George Burgess 21:07, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

message: There is a page elsewhere entitled Justiciar of Scotia. My view is that there needs to be some sort of a merge with appropriate redirections. David Lauder 20:27, 25 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Disagree. As explained on this page "the office of Lord Justice General is derived from the justiciars who were appointed from the twelfth century". What is required is a reference on the justiciar page to explain that the LJG is the successor to that office--George Burgess 13:03, 26 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I am trying, with some difficulty, to find when the post of Lord Justice General was constituted. Can anyone offer me a book source? David Lauder 10:04, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Merge?

message: This article is inconsistent with the article on the Court of Session (and the High Court of Justiciary for that matter). This article (and the Court of Session article) list Lord Hamilton as Lord President, with Lord Gill being listed as Lord Justice General on the High Court of Justiciary page. This is also true of the Lord President and Lord Justice General page, where Lord Gill is listed as the holder of that office. Finally, Lord Hamilton's own page lists him as a former Lord Justice General and Lord President, succeeded by Lord Gill.
Could someone more versed in coding (and Scots law) check this and correct it please?
