What is a lawyer?

A lawyer is an adult who knows a lot about the law and rules in Norway.

The lawyer will make sure that you and your family's rights are looked after. The lawyer’s job is to help you and your family. The lawyer does not work for UNE or the UDI.

Sometimes children can get their own lawyer, for example if you need more support than your parents can give you.

All lawyers have a duty of secrecy.
