"with general authority"
Check the web link below, assuming it is also correct!!
"President of the court: Assistant judge Irene Sogn with general authority"
Does this possibly mean "general jurisdiction"? That term appears only to apply to courts, not to judges themselves.
Hope this helps!

Thanks, Brigid, for your kind words. But I have just come home from my office and checked Åge Lind's "Juridisk Ordbok". He offers "generalfullmakt" as "full power of attorney" or "general power of attorney". Does that help, or confuse?!

I wholeheartedly agree with you about the feasibility of this translation. I just thought we should explore all avenues, before committing!!
Where's Bjørnar when we need him. He's good on this kind of stuff!! In his absence, go with "general jurisdiction" is my advice.
And whatever else, have a Happy Christmas!

Note from asker:
| Actually, the term is also applied to judges, Bill. This does seem more correct terminology. Will wait and see, but I think I'll take up your suggestion. Thanks! |
| I'm not sure the definition Lind gives relates to judges and court cases. Random House WEbster's Dictionary of Law defines general jurisdication as "jurisdiction to hear any kind of case except one restridted to some specialised court. Cf. limited jurisdiction." I haven't been able to find a definition of "alminnelig fullmakt" in the same context, but do you not agree that this sounds very feasible in this context? |

Comment: "Thanks to all, especially Bill and Vedis. I found plenty of authoritative texts regarding judges with/exercising general jurisdiction (e.g. http://www.legislature.state.oh.us/bills.cfm?ID=126_SB_9). "
