She was born in Oslo. [2] She graduated from the University of Oslo with the cand.jur. degree in 1977, and was a lawyer's trainee in London from 1977 to 1978 and in Oslo from 1979 to 1981. She then worked as an assistant secretary in the Norwegian Ministry of Justice and the Police from 1981 to 1988. [3] From 1988 to 1991 she was a lawyer in the Nordisk Defence Club.
