Yep. Ella and I were texting last night when I read that post with the video. She told me about the lawyer being disbarred a long time ago. Yet the title of the video which is recent says he is a "Norwegian lawyer." She's an American teenager who already knows that from basic research, so the people who made that video in Norway should definitely know! If they're not able to do enough research to get something that basic right why trust them on something complex. It's ridiculous to post a video that long anyway.

It also makes you question why this man allows the TV stations to call him "Norwegian lawyer" when he knows he is not a lawyer anymore. If he can lie about a simple thing as that - what his occupation is - then what else does he lie about?

For the journalists I guess it has to do with giving him a sense of authority towards their unsuspecting and naive viewers. It definitely sound better to interview "a Norwegian lawyer" - rather than telling the truth, saying: "Here comes ex-lawyer and ex-convict, Mr. R" :D

PS. The video is not made in Norway. People in Norway would just laugh ata journalist coming up with such things. I guess the video is from Romania

Norwegian lawyer...
it seems you don't understand the terms
There is one thing called "lawyer" and another thing "admission to practice law"
So Mr. Reikeras is a Norwegian... I hope you agree on that
and he is a lawyer, even you agree or not, but he has no licence to practice law in Norway.
he is disbarred but he is still a lawyer
Capisce?

there are other lawyers you will not like if you read this Report

Do you really care about delighting in the truth? The real truth & not a manipulation of it? Cause no it's not true that a lawyer can still call himself a lawyer when he's been disbarred from practicing law. It's like saying you're still an employee at a company that fired you or still a student at a school that expelled you.

This is accurate depending on where else he is licensed to practice.

Here in the states, one can be disbarred in one state and still be allowed to practice in another state, making him still a lawyer.

Yes do check out the link and notice that many things are singular, as in one just one of the class of professional referenced.

Anyone know?

It seems that was a while ago and the tendency of search engines to have the most recent first means there are pages of his current high profile stuff. Also I do not speak Norwegian.

I did however see he was convicted of embezzlement, had a fraud case he barely beat and a case involving what looks like undue influence of an aging client.

I don't know details from his professional or private life. But I believe that if I have a Graduate Certificate I can work in different countries even if I don't have this right in my own country

in many articles he is called human rights activist lawyer... I understand this activity is differently regulated on the international level and it has a broader meaning. It's not a profession related to one country.
lawyer or not he seems to know the law in this field, the family and child law.

It is always fun when someone who has not a clue about Norway wants to teach you about Norwegian laws and customs.

There is a clear distinction between having studied law and being a lawyer. You can have a Ph.D in law, and still not be a lawyer. There are many people who have studied law that work in Government and private entreprises who are not lawyers.
A lawyer is someone who has studied law plus have a licence to perform certain tasks, like defending clients in court etc. Therefore, every lawyer has studied law - but not everyone who has studied law is a lawyer.

Mr. Reierås is not a lawyer, since he does not have the licence of a lawyer.
However, I will agree to calling Mr.Reierås "an ex-lawyer and ex-convict who have a degree in Norwegian law"

I don't know details from his professional or private life.

This is because you do not want to know it. I have presented some good links for you. I suggest you read up on them if you are interested in the truth

But I believe that if I have a Graduate Certificate I can work in different countries even if I don't have this right in my own country

Do you seriously think I can practice as a lawyer in the US (or any other country) if I have studied law in Norway?

Norway is a country - not a state. If you are disbarred in Norway it covers the whole country, not just one part of it.

To get a license to practice law anywhere else would require a whole new degree for him. He has a degree in Norwegian law, not in the laws of another country. A parallell would be a Mexican lawyer who wants to practice as a lawyer in the US. He would need more than his Mexican degree in order to do this

Yet the title of the video which is recent says he is a "Norwegian lawyer." She's an American teenager who already knows that from basic research, so the people who made that video in Norway should definitely know! If they're not able to do enough research to get something that basic right why trust them on something complex. It's ridiculous to post a video that long anyway.

:) I didn't do strenuous research to obtain that information, so it definitely made me question the integrity of Mr. Reikerås and those who are writing articles and presenting interviews fraudulently describing him as a Norwegian lawyer.

Luke 16:10 - “Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much."

It also makes you question why this man allows the TV stations to call him "Norwegian lawyer" when he knows he is not a lawyer anymore. If he can lie about a simple thing as that - what his occupation is - then what else does he lie about?

PS. The video is not made in Norway. People in Norway would just laugh ata journalist coming up with such things. I guess the video is from Romania

One incident could plausibly be due to an innocent mistake, but as Vasile wrote, numerous articles have described him as an attorney. This undermines the credibility of both the authors of those articles and Mr. Reikerås. Verifying the credentials of your primary source is a basic essential for journalism and citing sources. Honestly identifying yourself and promptly correcting any misrepresentations is also a fundamental for trustworthiness.

And yep, the video is from Romania. If you just click it within the first second you'll see that the titles are in Romanian.

Oh good heavens, I was actually just pointing out that disbarrment doesn't automatically mean that one is no longer a lawyer.
