Johan Lausen Bull

Johan Lausen Bull (14 May 1751 – 29 July 1817) was a Norwegian jurist and politician.

He was born in Stod, as the brother of Johan Randulf Bull. He took the jurist examination in Copenhagen in 1776, and worked as district stipendiary magistrate (sorenskriver) in Sundmøre from 1779 to 1798. He was then president of the magistrate in Christianssand from 1798 to 1802 and in Christiania from 1802 to 1815.[1] The magistrates in Norwegian cities were forerunners of the city council, which was introduced with elected councillors in 1837.
