Expanding horizons together.

The Norwegian Association
for Comparative Law

The Association was originally founded on the initiative of professor Giuditta Cordero-Moss at the University of Oslo. Its main purpose at the time was to function as the Norwegian Committee for the International Academy of Comparative Law. Following a quiet period, it was relaunched in 2022 on the initiative of researchers at the Universities of Agder, Bergen and Stavanger as well as the then College, now University of Inland Norway.  Today, the Association includes members from most institutions offering legal education in Norway.

The aim of the Norwegian Association for Comparative Law is to provide a forum for students, researchers, practitioners, lawmakers and judges with interest in comparative law. We remain the national committee for the International Academy of Comparative Law but also seek to organise, facilitate and otherwise contribute to various activities in the field of comparative law. The idea behind the Association is to connect people, share knowledge and advise third parties on comparative method and substantive topics.

The Association is headed by a board of five members from various Norwegian academic institutions, including the president. It welcomes members from all areas of law and both public and private institutions and companies.
