Norway during World War II When the occupation of Norway ended in May 1945, several thousand Norwegians and foreign citizens were tried and convicted for various acts that the occupying powers sanctioned. The scope, legal basis, and fairness of these trials has since been a matter of some debate. Background The Operation Weser bung German invasion of Norway during World War II created a number of constitutional issues, chiefly related to what was the legitimate Norwegian government, and whether the constitution and Norwegian code of law remained in effect during the Occupation of Norway by Nazi Germany occupation . Although the occupying power, under Reichskommissar Josef Terboven and the Quisling regime puppet Norwegian regime under Vidkun Quisling claimed that the Norwegian government had abandoned its authority in the spring of 1940, the Norwegian government claimed that it had merely capitulated the military struggle for the homeland, while the executive branch had been given special powers by the Storting Norwegian parliament through the Elverum Authorization .

Out of Control The New Biology of Machines, Social Systems, and the Economic World ISBN 978 0201483406 is a 1994 book by Kevin Kelly editor Kevin Kelly . The book was also published as Out of control the rise of neo biological civilization .

The term legal transplant was coined in the 1970s by the Scottish American legal scholar Alan Watson W.A.J. Alan Watson to indicate the moving of a rule or a system of law from one country to another A. Watson, Legal Transplants An Approach to Comparative Law , Edinburgh , 1974 . The notion of legal transplantation is diffusionism based and according to this concept most changes in most legalsystems occur as the result of borrowing. As maintained by Alan Watson Watson , transplantation is the most fertile source of legal development. Laws are commonly inspired by foreign policies and experiences. Regardless of the academic discourses on whether legal transplants are sustainable as a notion in the law legal theory , they are common practice. Nevertheless, the degree to which new laws are inspired by foreign examples can vary. A frequent and often justified criticism is that imported laws are not suited for a certain local context.
