• Sommario/riassunto: This book provides a comprehensive analysis of the role and impact of law clerks on the Norwegian Supreme Court, one of the most powerful Supreme Courts in Europe. It traces the evolution of law clerks from their introduction in 1957 to their current influential role in the Court's decision-making processes. The authors examine how the expansion of clerks' responsibilities, including case preparation and drafting decisions, has enabled the Court to become more proactive in policymaking and legal development. The work highlights the transformative vision of figures like Carsten Smith, who strategically increased the number and scope of clerks to enhance the Court's efficiency and authority. This study is valuable for legal scholars, historians, and political scientists interested in judicial politics, the role of courts in society, and the dynamics of legal systems.
