What is Morrow in Scottish Law?

Morrow is a term used in Scottish law to refer to the day after the day of judicial term, which was traditionally the day on which legal proceedings were held. The term is derived from the Scots word "morwe", which means "morrow" or "day after tomorrow".

In modern times, the concept of morrow has largely fallen out of use, and legal proceedings are now typically held on any day of the week, rather than being limited to specific days. However, the term "morrow" is still used in some legal contexts, such as in references to the date of a court hearing or other legal event.

For example, if a court hearing is scheduled for Wednesday, the morrow would be Thursday. Similarly, if a legal document refers to a hearing taking place "on the morrow", it means that the hearing will take place on the day after the day of the document's execution.
