courts of appeal in norway When the theoretical foundations for such demands were sufficiently established by the historical school, the traditional institutions – at least their names – were reintroduced. The break with the rational natural law tradition was legitimized by referring to an idealized version of national history. Remarkable is that the legacy of the folk courts still seems to have left traces in contemporary Norwegian society. The political unwillingness to follow the recommendations to reform the jury-system can hardly be explained differently. To change the law requires apparently not just compliance with expectations of lawyers but of the people as well. To change these expectations will take time. The future of the jurysystem in Norway is therefore still unclear. 308
