College of Justice
The College of Justice is the body of judges and lawyers of Scotland's supreme courts, founded by James V in 1532 with funds from the Scottish church approved by the pope. Its core is the Court of Session, the supreme civil court, whose judges are styled senators of the College of Justice. It gave Scotland a permanent professional central court and fostered a distinct Scots legal profession.
