Oslo Courthouse ( Oslo tinghus ) is located at C.J. Hambros plass 4 in downtown Oslo , Norway .

The courthouse houses the two Oslo District Courts ; the tingrett which handles civil and criminal cases, and the byfogdembete which considers other enforcement cases such as marriages, bankruptcy , probate, and official notarization. ^{[1] [2] [3]}

The postmodern building was designed by Østgaard Arkitekter AS and the architect Terje Grønmo on an assignment from Statsbygg . It was completed in 1994. The building's facade as well as much of the interior is primarily granite. ^[4]

The building contains 54 courtrooms and 11 adjudication rooms. The inside of the court building's walls are covered with script of the Laws of the Norwegian people ( Norske Lov ), transposed to demonstrate the difficulty that people have in understanding them. ^{[5] [6]}
