District Court (Norway)
In Norway, the district court (Norwegian: tingrett) is the first court instance, and handles both criminal and civil cases. The ruling of the district court may be appealed to the next level of court, the court of appeal.
The term tingrett for the district courts was introduced in 2002, replacing the previous terms city court (byrett) and district court (herredsrett).
