Walter Scott Dahl (21 February 1839 – 4 September 1906) was a Norwegian lawyer and a politician for the Liberal Party. Born in Melhus, he attended the Norwegian parliament in the years from 1874 to 1879, and later served as a deputy representative in 1883 and 1885.[1] He was a strong proponent of the impeachment of Prime Minister Selmer in 1883, and received national attention for his role as a prosecutor in the trial.[1] In 1886–88, he was back in parliament, and in 1888 he was made Minister of the Interior and head of the Ministry of Justice in the cabinet of Johan Sverdrup. Later the same year, he was made Minister of Justice, but remained there only for a few months, since the cabinet had to resign in June 1889.[2] Dahl later wrote a three-volume biography of the prime minister, titled Johan Sverdrup; et storthingsbillede ("Johan Sverdrup: A Parliamentary Sketch", 1899–1904).[1]
