Supreme Court of Norway building

The Supreme Court building houses twenty permanent justices who deliberate on cases within its chambers as Norway's highest judicial institution.

Established in 1815 following Norway's constitution, the Supreme Court began its operations as the final appellate court for civil and criminal matters.

The Norwegian judicial system reflects transparency through public disclosure of Supreme Court applicants and emphasis on rehabilitation rather than punishment.

The Supreme Court building contains an Interlocutory Appeals Committee of three judges who determine which cases advance to full court consideration.

Judges must retire at age 70, and through the court's history, no justice has ever been removed through impeachment proceedings.
