Assize courts of Sweden information


Judges, constables, and lay judges gathered outside the courthouse of the Western Hundred Court, Komstad, Småland

The assize courts of Sweden[a] (Swedish: häradsrätt, Finnish: kihlakunnanoikeus) were public courts in rural areas and in several cities, which were under county law (landsrätt), until the judicial reform of 1971, when district courts were introduced both in rural areas and in cities. The assize court consisted of a district judge (häradshövding) and a panel. In order for the assize court to have jurisdiction, usually at least seven lay judges had to be present in court. The panel participated in the adjudication of cases in their entirety. Each assize court had a fixed courthouse, usually located within its jurisdiction (judicial district), where the district court convened.[2]
