Hovrättsråd

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A hovrättsråd (Swedish) or hovioikeudenneuvos (Finnish) is a judge of the Swedish or Finnish Court of Appeal (hovrätt or hovioikeus). Until 1789 hovrätt was the highest judicial body in Sweden.[1] Today the courts are the second highest general courts in both countries.[2]
