Supreme Court Systems in the Nordic Countries. An Outline of the Issue

The aim of the study is to provide a comparative analysis of the role and tasks that the supreme courts perform in the Nordic legal and political systems. The main focus of the paper is on considerations of the tasks, goals, role and functions of the supreme courts in the Nordic countries, as well as the principles of organisation and functioning on which the supreme court systems in this region of Europe are based. An important part of this study covered the determination of common features and differences that can be seen when comparing countries of the eastern and western Nordic legal culture.
