The Disciplinary Board's main task is to deal with disciplinary matters relating to lawyers. This includes assessment of complaints and decisions from the Danish Bar Association, which makes the tribunal an important appeal body for legal practice. Through its proceedings, the tribunal contributes to maintaining the standards for legal ethics in Norway.
In addition to its work with disciplinary matters, the Disciplinary Board offers courses and continuing education for lawyers. This is part of their commitment to strengthening competence in the legal field. The tribunal also provides information about legal practice and has resources available to both lawyers and the general public, including opportunities to find a lawyer or complain about lawyers. The membership offers are aimed at lawyers to support their professional development.
