Court of appeal (Norway)

The court of appeal (Norwegian: lagmannsrett, lit. ‘lawman's court’) is the second level of courts of justice in Norway, reviewing criminal and civil cases appealed from the district courts. There are six courts of appeal, each covering a jurisdiction and based in a city. Each court is led by a senior judge president (førstelagmann) and several appellate judges (lagdommer). The courts are administered by the Norwegian National Courts Administration.^[1] Decisions from civil and criminal matters, except the question of guilt, can be appealed from the courts of appeal to the Supreme Court.^[1]
