DESCRIPTION:This talk explores the motivations and strategies of women who
  engaged in legal action against close family members and kin relations\, 
 focusing closely on disputes before the burgh (town) and commissary (refor
 med church) courts of early modern Scotland. It argues that an in-depth st
 udy of women’s legal activity as litigants\, arbiters\, and users sheds 
 new light on their position in the wider kin network\, their public role i
 n the judicial system\, and in the development of property law.
