Egil Endresen

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Egil Endresen (born 28 April 1920 in Stavanger, died 10 May 1992) was a Norwegian jurist and politician for the Conservative Party.

He was elected to the Norwegian Parliament from Rogaland in 1965, and was re-elected on one occasion. On 3 October 1970 he was appointed Minister of Justice and the Police during the centre-right cabinet of Per Borten, replacing Elisabeth Schweigaard Selmer. He held the position until the Borten cabinet fell in 1971, and thus Olle Johan Eriksen took his seat in Parliament for the remainder of the term.

Endresen, a cand.jur. graduate from the University of Oslo in 1947, later served as a Supreme Court judge from 1977 to 1988, following in the footsteps of Schweigaard Selmer.

Endresen was a member of the executive committee of Stavanger city council during the terms 1955–1959 and 1959–1963.
