Research Norwegian law, with sources, in the AI you already use.

We do not receive or store any of your conversations, please read our privacy policy. Your conversations go to the AI provider that you choose.

What we do store, such as your account details, is kept in Google Cloud in the EU (region europe-west1, Belgium).

Compared to using vertical legal AI tools, using Lovkart instead gives you the right to decide where your conversation goes to.

If you are worried about your data being used to train specialized legal models, you can consume an AI model that runs on a provider you trust, such as AWS or Azure, or on your own computer. Let us know if you need general advice on this.

P.S. We are working on a data desensitization tool that runs on your local computer. Contact us if you have specific needs.

Lovkart is a research tool, not legal advice. So along with the answer, it points you to who can verify it. Often that is a public body with its own guidance service, for example the Data Protection Authority for a privacy question. Otherwise it is the kind of adviser to ask: a lawyer, a free legal-aid clinic, your trade union, a consumer or patient body, or an ombud. You get links, and they are checked weekly. No rankings. The expert is the one to rely on; Lovkart gets you there with the right sources in hand.

Lovkart is good at questions with a precise answer in Norwegian primary law: what a section says, which section applies, which Supreme Court decisions cite the point and how later decisions used them, and what each decision cites.

You can ask in everyday words. A gym that will not let you cancel, a parcel that never arrived, a neighbour’s tree that shades your garden or a dog that bit someone is read as a question of Norwegian law and answered from the sources, with the section and the decision that decide it, instead of general advice.

It serves the current wording of acts and central regulations with a link to every section on Lovdata, and for most acts an archived version near a date from 2014 onward. It tells you whether an amendment is in force today, which adopted changes are still waiting for their date, and which regulations are issued under a section. It serves Supreme Court decisions under their own case numbers with links to domstol.no, and preparatory works from 1986 onward, including the article-by-article notes.

It also tells you where to complain: which board, tribunal or ombud handles a matter, with deadlines, channels and fees — and who can verify the answer, such as a public body’s guidance service or the right kind of adviser.

Every source comes with its link, so you can check it yourself. It does not invent citations. When a source is not in Lovkart, it says so.

What it holds, and where it stops:

• Supreme Court decisions open on domstol.no. Lovkart serves a decision’s case number, date, the court’s own title, the parties as the court names them (companies and public bodies by name, private individuals anonymised), what the decision cites and what cites it, with a link to the court’s page.The text stays with the court by design, because decisions carry personal data: your AI opens the decision on domstol.no and reads it there.
• Supreme Court decisions, with other practice linked. Lovkart holds the Supreme Court’s published decisions. Where a law is applied by a complaint body — Husleietvistutvalget, Trygderetten, Sivilombudet, Finansklagenemnda and others — it tells you where that body’s practice is published and links it, so your AI can send you there. Decisions of lagmannsrett, tingrett and the complaint boards themselves are not held.
• EU and EEA law as Norway has adopted it, and the EU acts on their way in. An EU act binds in Norway only through the Norwegian law that incorporates it, so that is where Lovkart reads it: the EEA Agreement, the European Convention on Human Rights and the EU acts whose text Lovdata prints inside the Norwegian law or regulation that incorporates it — mostly regulations, the GDPR among them — article by article, recitals included, in Norwegian translation.For EU acts adopted in Brussels but not yet part of the EEA Agreement — the AI Act, the Cyber Resilience Act, the Digital Services Act, the new Product Liability Directive and the others on that list — Lovkart tells you their status with the official links and holds the English original as adopted in the Official Journal, article by article, so you can read what is coming without treating it as Norwegian law yet; later amendments and corrigenda are not applied.The EU acts most often cited in Norwegian sources are also held in their English original, article by article, where Lovdata prints no Norwegian text. Other EU acts are linked, not held.There is no case law from the EU courts, the EFTA Court or the European Court of Human Rights, and no legal literature or practitioner notes.
• Preparatory works from 1986 onward. Bills, committee recommendations and enacted bills are listed from the 1986–87 session, with full text from the late 1990s. Official reports (NOU) are complete from 1994, with only a few older ones. Consultations are listed from 1997, with their documents mainly from 2015. Earlier documents are scattered or missing.
• A label for how later courts used a decision. Lovkart shows that one decision cites another and how the citing court used it — followed, distinguished, departed from or merely mentioned — as read from the citing paragraphs by two independent AI readers that agreed, with a person reviewing every disagreement and every “departed”.A label says how the court used the decision, not whether it is still good law; what it held you read in the decision itself.
• Central regulations; decisions found by case, provision or company. Central regulations are held; local regulations are not. Decisions are found by case number, by the provisions they cite or by a company or public body named in them, never by a private person’s name — a privacy choice.

Why this scope? Lovkart builds on the sources Norway publishes openly: Lovdata’s open data, the Supreme Court’s published decisions and the preparatory works on regjeringen.no and stortinget.no — the primary sources themselves. As the project develops, and through partnerships, more sources can come in where the price is reasonable. Legal commentary is costly to license, so we would rather point to it than serve it.

Absolutely yes! That is one of the biggest advantages of our product. Creating Skills will enable you to automate nearly all of today’s regular and boring work.
