History

[edit]

This court was established on 1 January 1920 to serve the city of Stavanger. On 1 July 2007, the old Ryfylke District Court was dissolved and most of its jurisdiction was transferred to the Stavanger District Court (except for Sandnes and Forsand municipalities which were transferred to Jæren District Court and Sauda and Suldal were transferred to Karmsund District Court). Also on that date, Sola Municipality was transferred out of Jæren District Court into the Stavanger District Court.[3][4] On 26 April 2021, Stavanger District Court was merged with the Jæren District Court and Dalane District Court to create the new Sør-Rogaland District Court.[5]
