Excerpt from Styles of Writs, and Forms of Procedure, in the Church Courts of Scotland The Church Law Society was instituted in 1827. The qualification of admission is an approval of the principles and constitution of the Established Church of Scotland. The design of the Society is the improvement of its members in a more accurate and extensive acquaintance with the History, Constitution, Laws, and Forms of the Church. In 1835 it was suggested to the Society by some of its members, that the publication of a complete set of the Styles or Forms requisite in Ecclesiastical Courts would be a highly useful undertaking; and, accordingly, in July of that year, a Committee was appointed for the purpose of considering the subject. This Committee reported, that there were ample materials for such a work which had not as yet been touched upon in any other compilation, and strongly recommended to the Society to undertake the publication of a regular system of the Styles or Forms proper to be used in Church Courts.
