Criminal and coronial venues
Criminal trials and fatal accident inquiries in Aberdeen
Coronial work takes the Scottish form in Aberdeen: deaths are examined at fatal accident inquiries before a sheriff under the Inquiries into Fatal Accidents and Sudden Deaths etc. (Scotland) Act 2016, not at inquests. The deaths themselves are investigated by the Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service through the Scottish Fatalities Investigation Unit, the specialist team handling most COPFS death investigation work.
- Aberdeen Sheriff Court and Justice of the Peace Court
- Deals with the city’s summary and solemn criminal business, with all jury trials heard at the Castle Street annex.

Questions answered
Frequently asked questions
Where would a Aberdeen assessment take place?
Each listing names its consulting locations and assessment types before you make contact: face-to-face appointments are held at the practitioner's own premises, and remote assessment removes the journey altogether where the case suits it. Nothing about the logistics is left to be discovered after instruction.
What if the specialty my case needs has no Aberdeen listing?
The instruction is still covered. Location results automatically include practitioners who assess remotely, each labelled with where they are actually based - so a Aberdeen search never ends at an empty page while a remote-capable specialist exists on the register.
Can I shortlist Aberdeen experts by sub-specialty, expertise or gender?
Yes - the register filters by category, specialty and specific medico-legal expertise as well as location, and every listing displays the practitioner's gender and experience. A Aberdeen search can start from the precise question in issue and a sensitive-instruction preference at the same time.
