Law in Norway follows a civil law system. The Supreme Court is the highest in the nation, with 20 justices. 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.
The first state-issued national Law-Code for Norway was Magnus Lagabøtes landslov (or the 'Code of the Norwegian Realm'), issued in 1274 by Magnus VI of Norway. It was followed in 1276 by the Magnus Lagabøtes bylov, issued by the same king.[1]
The Constitution of Norway was adopted on 16 May 1814 by the Norwegian Constituent Assembly at Eidsvoll.
