Security Guard at Stockholm District Court

The court is divided into five adjudicating departments and one administrative department. Departments 1–4 are general departments handling criminal cases, civil cases, and matters. Department 5 is the Patent and Market Court, responsible for the areas of intellectual property law, marketing law, and competition law. Judges, patent attorneys, court clerks, public prosecutors, legal advisors, and court administrators work in the adjudicating departments. The court also has a special unit for handling civil cases, a so-called fast track for civil cases. The administrative department is responsible for finance, IT, HR, registration, archives, library, communication, security, service, and cleaning.

Stockholm District Court is Sweden's largest district court with approximately 300 employees. Our organization consists of a diversity of competencies, where each employee plays a crucial role in maintaining legal certainty and high quality at all levels. We often handle extensive and high-profile cases.

Stockholm District Court is the exclusive forum for security cases and is responsible for the high-security rooms at Bergsgatan 50, which are resource rooms for all of Sweden's courts. They are located in close proximity to the district court and are used for security cases, high-risk cases, and cases that attract significant media interest.
