	Ranald Alasdair MacDonald v The Lord Advocate of Scotland
		At the request of the Lord Lyon, an informal hearing took place, attended by the petitioner, his solicitor and counsel, and certain of the witnesses, for the purpose of discussing questions arising from the affidavits and submissions.
		Thereafter the Lord Lyon, on 10 December 2002, pronounced an interlocutor refusing the prayer of the petition.
		Lord Lyon Blair's misdirection lies in his having elevated to the status of an absolute requirement something which is truly no more than a cross-check on the reliability of the sloinneadh, which might be useful in certain circumstances, but which is unnecessary in the circumstances of this particular case.

	MacCormick v. Lord Advocate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Lord Advocate (1953 SC 396) was a Scottish legal action in which John MacCormick (the rector of the University of Glasgow) and Ian Hamilton contested the right of Queen Elizabeth II to style herself "Elizabeth II" within Scotland.
		The Lord Advocate admitted that the Act was not self-explanatory, and offered in supplement a ‘White Paper,’ which he indicated had been made available in the Vote Office prior to the consideration of the bill.
		Be that as it may, I consider that the Lord Advocate failed to show that there is, or ever was, Parliamentary authority for the adoption by Her Majesty of the name and the ‘numeral’ which in fact were adopted on Her Majesty's accession and have been used ever since.

	Lord Advocate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Her Majesty's Advocate, known as the Lord Advocate (Morair Tagraidh in Scottish Gaelic) is the chief legal adviser to the Scottish Executive and the Crown in Scotland for both civil and criminal matters that fall within the devolved powers of the Scottish Parliament.
		From 1707 to 1998 the Lord Advocate was the chief legal adviser of the United Kingdom Government and the Crown in Scotland for both civil and criminal matters until the passing of the Scotland Act 1998 which devolved most domestic affairs to the Scottish Parliament.
		Unlike the Attorney General for England and Wales, the Lord Advocate is not head of the Scottish bar: that position is held by the Dean of the Faculty of Advocates.

	Welcome to the Football Safety Officers' Association Scotland
		The Lord Advocate recognises that the principal reason for the presence of police officers at sporting events is to ensure crowd safety at the beginning of, during and after the event.
		The Lord Advocate is firmly of the view that all those involved in the administration, refereeing and playing of sports have the initial and the major responsibilities to avoid and in any event to deal with excessive violence or serious disorderly conduct on the part of players, coaches and managers.
		However, the Lord Advocate wishes the police to investigate and, where appropriate, report to the Procurator Fiscal incidents where the violence used by a participant goes well beyond that which would be expected to occur during the normal run of play and that which the rules of the sport concerned are designed to regulate.

		The Lord Advocate's appointment is political and may change with a change of Executive, but decisions taken by him and on his behalf in respect of criminal prosecution and the investigation of deaths are taken independently of any other person.
		The independence of the Lord Advocate is preserved in section 48 of the Scotland Act 1998 and his position as head of the systems of criminal prosecution and death investigation is protected by section 29 of the Act.
		The early history of the office of Lord Advocate is obscure, but it is plain that it grew out of the necessity for the King to have an advocate to represent him in proceedings both criminal and civil.

	Speech for The Lord Advocate - Conference on Scottish Devolution - Strathclyde Univ 27 Feb 98
		The Lord Advocate was recognised as an important officer of the State well before the Union of 1707 and indeed, was an ex-officio member of the 1707 Scottish Parliament.
		Accordingly, this traditional position of the Lord Advocate as head of the systems of criminal prosecution and investigations of death is preserved and entrenched in Clause 28(2)(e) of the Bill.
		While securing the constitutional position of the Lord Advocate and the Solicitor General for Scotland and maintaining the status quo in relation to the Lord Advocate's retained functions, it was also essential to ensure that his traditional independence and that of the procurator fiscal service was not eroded.

	The Works of Jesus Christ as an Advocate - Part II
		Another privilege that they have who have Jesus Christ for their Advocate is, that he is undaunted, and of a good courage, as to the cause that he undertakes; for that is a requisite qualification for a lawyer, to be bold and undaunted in a man's cause.
		Now let the Lord stand up to plead, for he is Advocate for the children; yea, let them plead the sufficiency of their first title to the kingdom, and that it is not their doings can sell the land for ever.
		It is irrational to think that Christ is an Advocate for, or that he pleadeth the cause of such, who, in the self-same hour, and before his enemies, are throwing dirt in his face by their profane mouths and unsanctified lives and conversations.

	The Works of Jesus Christ as an Advocate
		Some rely on their tears and sighs, as advocates for them with God; others on imperfect good works-from all these the soul must be shaken, until it finds that there is no prevailing Advocate but the Saviour; and that he alone, with his mystical body, the church, is entitled to the inheritance.
		But this was David's mercy, he had an Advocate to plead his cause, by whose wisdom and skill in matters of law and judgment he was brought off of those heavy charges, from those gross sins, and delivered from that eternal condemnation, that by the law of sin and death, was due thereto.
		The Lord Jesus having thus taken our sins upon himself, and presented God with all the worthiness that is in his whole self for them, in the next place he calleth for justice, or a just verdict upon the satisfaction he hath made to God and to his law.

	Our Advocate
		Even as our Lord’s greatest hour of trial was quickly approaching, he was carefully warning his disciples of the great test of faith that would soon come upon them, and reassured them that, even though they were to stumble, they would still be his sheep.
		After Jesus had died and was resurrected, his primary goals during the forty days before his ascension were to re-establish their faith in his teachings, to solidify them as a body of brethren, and to give them the courage to live their consecrated lives strong in the confidence that he was still their shepherd.
		When John says, “If any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father,” it is evident that he is speaking about unintentional sin, sins that we fall into because of the weakness of our flesh, the inherited imperfection we have as humans.

		A cabinet meeting of the Executive yesterday instructed Colin Boyd QC, the Lord Advocate, to find a way to reveal the contents of the secret file surrounding the killing spree carried out by Thomas Hamilton in 1996, which left 16 children and their teacher dead.
		It is understood that during yesterday’s cabinet meeting, the Lord Advocate expressed concern about releasing the report because it is believed to detail incidents involving Hamilton and a number of children who were under his care on the camp.
		But after discussing the possibility of protecting the children, who are now believed to be in their mid-twenties, the Lord Advocate agreed to reassess the situation.

	I take your point, Mr. Deputy...: 26 Feb 2002: House of Commons debates (TheyWorkForYou.com)
		Therefore, the Scottish Parliament should be able to subject the actions of the Lord Advocate in the performance of his functions under the Bill to the same degree of scrutiny as this House will be able to bring to bear on the performance of the ARA director.
		In Committee, I expressed concern that the Lord Advocate's significant range of functions under the Bill could give rise to a conflict of interests with those functions that he currently executes, either by statute or by common law, in relation to the investigation and prosecution of crime in Scotland.
		There is a fairly strong argument for saying that, in light of the nature of the powers to be given to the Lord Advocate or executed by the state under the Bill, a new body should be created.
