Alexandra Bech Gjorv, 46, and PM Jens Stoltenberg
Friday August 12. Alexandra Bech Gjorv, 46, an alumnae of Suffolk University Law School in Boston (class of 1992-93) was appointed chairwoman of the international independent 7-22 Terror Investigation Commission. She's licensed to practice law in New York. She also studied at Oxford and sat on various boards and was a partner at the Oslo law firm Hjort bebore being tapped by Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg to head the Commission. Gjorv has no political affiliations. Check out her impressive resume on her Linkedin page here.
Nine members of the commission have been so far appointed--and a tenth foreign male member from a neighboring Scandinavian country "with expertise in law enforcement/emergency response" will soon be designated. Earlier, some conservative parliamentarians of the Progress Party had wanted that Chief Justice Aage Thor Falkanger be appointed as chairman. But the latter had recused himself in advance, pointing to the conflict that position would represent for him in the likely scenario of the Christian Jihadist appealing his sentence at the Supreme Court.
The other members of the female-dominated commission are the following:
