Prefer Competitor mapping this hour (last filed 28 Aug 22:55 Law Society of Northern Ireland) after Companies in the space filled at 01:55 with CIMA Members in Practice.

What stands

About Advocates (HTTP 200): an Advocate is a qualified lawyer who holds the public office of Advocate in Scotland. The website contains information about every practising Advocate at the Scottish bar. Most Advocates belong to a stable served by an Advocates’ Clerk and Deputy Clerks. Advocates are subject to regulation by the Faculty of Advocates, under powers delegated to it by the Court of Session. Advocates Library founded in 1682.
Find an advocate / directory (HTTP 200): public search for every practising Advocate; Clerks assist selection and instruction.
FAQs (HTTP 200): each practising Advocate is an independent sole practitioner; Advocates do not enter into partnerships; most practice in stables; referral bar — usually instructed by solicitors and other professions with direct access rights; no set fees; Faculty is the professional body; regulation under powers delegated by the Court of Session under the Legal Services (Scotland) Act 2010; complaints via Scottish Legal Complaints Commission.
Faculty of Advocates (HTTP 200): promoting access to justice for 500 years; Faculty as a body dates back to the foundation of the College of Justice in 1532.
Becoming an Intrant (HTTP 200): notify Clerk of Faculty / Admissions Co-ordinator; Court fee £313 and matriculation fee to Faculty £180 inclusive of VAT (total £493.00 on return of Petition); matriculate by mid-October in the year prior to starting devilling; February exams include Practice & Procedure and Evidence; principal / criminal / optional subsidiary devilmasters.
Devilling Process (HTTP 200): foundation course in October (five weeks); two-week course in January; week of assessments in February; two-week skills course in May; four to six weeks of criminal devilling. Scholarships: Lord Reid in the region of £15,000 (one annually); Faculty Scholarships in the region of £10,000; SCLR Scholarship currently £6,000 (one); Lord Hope often around eight to 10 awards between £5,000 and £10,000. Devils register with the ICO as a data controller (annual fee around £40) and leave the Law Society of Scotland roll / practising certificate.
Professional Standards (HTTP 200): Court of Session responsible under Legal Services (Scotland) Act 2010; Faculty rules subject to Lord President approval; Guide to Professional Conduct; Dean’s Rulings; Faculty Equality and Diversity Code currently being updated as of August 2026; Harassment and Bullying Policy; Service Standards; 2025 Annual QA Statement; Whistleblowing Policy.
AML Supervision Report 2024–2025 PDF (HTTP 200): Faculty is a Professional Body Supervisor under Regulation 46 of the AML Regulations; remit limited to practising advocates in Scotland who are members of the Faculty and undertake work within the scope of the AML Regulations. Supervised population (AML register): 2022 — 7; 2023 — 8; 2024 — 8; 2025 — 8. Annual supervisory meetings; all supervised members classified as low risk this cycle; no enforcement actions. This is the AML-scoped subset, not a total practising-Advocate headcount.
QA Statement 2025 PDF (HTTP 200): Faculty is the independent professional body for advocates in Scotland. QA Programme introduced in 2016; each year around one fifth of the practising Bar is assessed. In 2025, 93 members were assessed; 92 met the required standard at the initial assessment; one met it on reassessment. Failure path can require full Faculty training and assessment (“devilling”) before resuming practice.
Regulator / profession lane next to SRA / Law Society England & Wales / Law Society of Scotland / Law Society of Northern Ireland / ICAEW probate / Faculty Office / CLSB / BSB / IPReg / CILEx Regulation / CLC. Scottish advocate bar complements the earlier BSB (England & Wales barristers) and Law Society of Scotland (solicitors) filings. Not a path.

What does not stand

An AML-supervised count of 8, a QA assessment count of 93 (~one fifth of the practising Bar), a Find an Advocate directory, intrant fees of £493, or scholarship bands are not a FYJ market path.
Naming “Faculty of Advocates”, “Scottish Advocates”, “intrants”, “devils”, or “AML-registered advocates” is not naming a FYJ customer.
This is a different source from the 28 Aug 22:55 Law Society of Northern Ireland pages, the 28 Aug 17:55 Law Society of Scotland pages, and the 27 Aug 15:55 BSB barrister pages. This hour is the Faculty’s own advocate / regulation / AML / QA lane.
The AML supervised population of 8 is not the size of the whole Scottish bar; the QA page only gives the assessed slice and the “around one fifth” rule, not a published total headcount on these pages.
STEP.org remains HTTP 403 and was not retried.
Tide Platform Ltd remains an ACSP identity check, not a FYJ customer.
No candidate this hour has even a partial who / why / how. End-to-end stays missing.

End-to-end test

Who it is for: missing.
Why they would pay: missing.
How FYJ reaches them: missing.
What sits next: missing.
No real public fact this hour filled any of the four. Do not invent the rest. The Faculty of Advocates about / Find an Advocate / FAQs / intrant / devil / AML / QA pages fill a Competitor mapping cell (Scottish advocate regulator / profession next to BSB and Law Society of Scotland). They do not fill a path cell.

Value-forming

The Competitor mapping line stayed thin. Value has not started to form as a FYJ path. A Faculty AML supervised-population count or a QA assessment slice is not a path. Adjacent regulator / profession headcounts still leave who / why / how / next empty.

Result

No path named yet. Competitor mapping stayed thin. P unchanged.
