List of University of Oslo Faculty of Law alumni

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

From 1811 to 1980, the faculty educated all lawyers of Norway, and still educates around 75% of new legal candidates. Its alumni hence includes the vast majority of the country's preeminent legal professionals, including academics, supreme court justices, senior civil servants, and a large number of politicians, among them 11 Prime Ministers and many cabinet ministers. This list of University of Oslo Faculty of Law alumni is limited to alumni who are notable outside the realm of Norwegian law.
