    In Scotland, assault is dealt with under Scottish criminal procedure, with proceedings in Sheriff Courts or the Court of Session for more serious cases. A solicitor handles the drafting and lodging of defences, interviews witnesses, negotiates with the Crown Office & Procurator Fiscal Service, and represents the pursuer or defender at initial writs, bail dispositions, and during trial or appeal proceedings. The terminology uses pursuer and defender rather than claimant and defendant, and judgments may be by sheriff or jury depending on the case.
