Info

Glasgow Sheriff Court is a Sheriff Court in the Gorbals (Laurieston) area of Glasgow, within the Sheriffdom of Glasgow and Strathkelvin. It is reputedly the busiest court in Europe.
The court deals with both criminal and civil cases. There are currently twenty-eight sheriffs in post at Glasgow Sheriff Court (five of whom are floating sheriffs). They sit alone in civil cases and are assisted by a jury of fifteen members of the electoral roll in some criminal cases (cases using solemn procedure only).
The Sheriff Principal is Craig Turnbull, who replaced Sheriff Craig Scott in 2016.
