Law Of Norway
Law in Norway follows a civil law system. The Supreme Court is the highest in the nation, with 20 justices. Overview The highest level of law is the Constitution of 17 May 1814. Statutes made under the Constitution are subordinate to it. Regulations made under such a statute are subordinate to such law.
