The State's Civil Law Administration is tasked with strengthening legal certainty in Norway through various state schemes. The administration offers compensation schemes, which include civil compensation and compensation after criminal prosecution. In addition, they handle powers of attorney and guardianship, including power of attorney for the future, to ensure that the rights of individuals are safeguarded.
The administration also provides information on free legal aid and grants for special legal aid measures, which helps to make the legal system more accessible to the population. They also have several commissions and councils, such as the Partner Homicide Commission and the Forensic Medicine Commission, which deal with specific issues within the legal field. The focus is on the individual's rights and legal certainty, which is central to their business.
