because sweden is part of the eu there is of course eu law which is very relevant... and international law
People like to say that, but I'm not sure it's really more true here than anywhere else. Either way, it's still a great word.
Nej nu skal svenskerne altså ikke til at begynde at tro at de ved noget om rugbrød.
Må vi lige være her.
Har aldri prøvd svensk rugbrød, men svensk rugsprø er derimot fantastisk!
How does the legal system work in Sweden? Is there anyway an American law degree could possibly translate to practicing Swedish law w/o having to do 3 more years of school?

Oh and Strafer, weren't you on Superplay back in the röda forumet days?
If you want your education to be validated in Sweden there are two possibilities. Each Swedish university that is authorized to issue the LLM degree (Master of Laws) evaluates foreign law degrees in order to establish if parts of the courses embraced by the foreign law degree may be accepted as part of a Swedish LLM degree and which courses you have to take in order to obtain the LLM degree. There are six such universities in Sweden, those of Stockholm, Uppsala, Göteborg, Lund, Örebo and Umeå. Hopefully you can find some information on the website of the Universities.
There is other possibility to become a certified lawyer in Sweden. The Swedish title of a qualified lawyer is "advokat". The title is protected by law and must not be used unless you are entitled to. Those entitled to use the title "advokat" are the members of the Swedish Bar Association. To apply for membership of the Swedish Bar Association you have to fulfill certain requirements regarding education and training. Firstly you have to obtain a Swedish law degree (LLM). After you have obtained the Swedish law degree you have to practice law for at least five years. Applicants also must pass an exam regarding lawyers ethics.
I was yes.
Thanks for the info! I've never been to Sweden but I'm planning to go soon. Everyone I know who has been there absolutely loved it.
What's the lifestyle in Sweden (or Scandinavia in general) like? Is it that different from the US? How bad is the language barrier? Are people generally accepting of Americans (foreigners)?
Sorry for all the questions.

This is true. I'm an American ex-pat (been living in Sweden since I was 6) and when I was in gymnasiet (swedish high school) it was during the height of W Bush, took some shit for that But as you said nowadays swedes don't seem to care.Couple of years ago, you might have gotten some shit for being an american due to Bush, but nowadays you'll be more than fine.

I'll do my best to provide a brief summary for Norway.
I might be wrong, but I believe we generally have more time to spend on leisure. Everyone has the right to a minimum of 25 days of paid vacation, and 31 days if you are above 60. Work hours varies according to professions, but I believe a 9 to 4 job is fairly common.
Not sure how to answer this one. All scandinavian languages are pretty common, and share some similarities with english. You might be able to judge the meaning of a couple of words based on how they are written, for example:
window=vindu
fisk=fish
fantastisk=fantastic
knife=kniv
Otherwise I would guess that the initial learning period might be a bit hard due to the low exposure foreigners have to the scandinavian languages. I do know of some people who managed to become almost fluent in an incredibly short amount of time. Some dutch people who moved here pretty much mastered oral norwegian in about 1,5 years.
Norway has a decent amount of foreigners, maybe 15% of the population. The ratio is higher in the big cities, for example 30% of Oslo's population are immigrants. The vast majority of people, especially the younger generations, are tolerant and have no issues with foreigners, but as always there might be exceptions. The US is in general is pretty popular among the people I know, so as an american I believe you would be welcomed with open arms by pretty much everyone.
As in Sweden, Lawyer(Advokat), is a protected title that requires appropriate education and several years of work experience among certified lawyers. The wage for this profession is generally high, although it varies with experience and responsibilities. The data I found showed an average wage of everything from 520.000 NOK to 950.000 NOK depending on your position:
Advokat (certified lawyer): 955.000 NOK
Advokatfullmektig (basically the title you gain after your degree, but before you become a ceritified lawyer): 719.000 NOK
Offentlig ansatt advokat (certified lawyer working in the public sector): 821.000 NOK
Currently 5,9 NOK = 1 $
Djungelvrål is like the ultimate citizentest. Brought some to Japan, and in my school, with literally people from every continent of the world, we were the only ones who could eat them and not have a "My family has been slaughtered"-face while doing so.
Also the worst part of Sweden is Systembolaget, the government monopoly liquor stores. There is nowhere else to buy alcohol or beer stronger than 3.2%, apart from going to a pub that is. Oh and their opening hours suck, closes at 15:00 on Saturday, and if you're lucky you live in a town that has more than one.
How anyone can dislike djungelvrål is beyond me.Djungelvrål is like the ultimate citizentest.

I have always wondered why Sweden had so many outstanding pop acts.
Abba
Roxette
Ace of Base
Army of Lovers
They were HUGE. There are also Cardigans, Eagle Eye Cherry, The Hives, Clawfinger and so on.
I mean how the country with population less than New York can produce so much good music? There must be a secret or something.
Also all of them were singing without any accent, this has always baffled me.

Man up pöjk, suck out all the delicious juice.

Then, don't eat it? Just go for the booze.
There is always ONE on every party like that who doesn't eat crayfish, drinks all the booze, pukes on the table and then passes out while taking a shit.
Be that person. For us.
