Notes to answerer
Asker: Thanks Dawn, that's really useful. As I don't have the dictionary you mention and this is a one-off, I may post some more questions if the Norwegian terminology differs from the Danish


Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  Charles Ek: You have the archaic spelling here of "meddomsrett". See http://tinyurl.com/18r at p. 6: "If the appeal concerns the question of guilt, the case shall be decided by a jury or a bench consisting of three professional and four lay judges (meddomsrett)."
