This book is dedicated to Kristian ‘Kikki’ Anden?s, on his retirement as professor at the University of Oslo. Throughout his career, Kikki has been deeply involved in legal aid for marginalised people. As a student, he was already involved in the student-run legal aid clinic Juss-Buss. While the Juss-Buss-initiative was still in its early days, Kikki helped set up a group offering legal aid to Roma people. He graduated from the Faculty of Law at the University of Oslo in 1974. After that he worked in the Ministry of Social Affairs and then as a deputy judge, before returning to academia. From 1978, he was employed as amanuensis at the Department of Social Science at the University of Troms?, and then, in 1984, he joined the Department of Sociology of Law, Faculty of Law, University of Oslo, where he was awarded a Dr. philos, in 1992, for his thesis on the social care system in Norway. He became a professor in 1997. During his time at the Department of Sociology of Law, which later became the Department of Criminology and Sociology of Law, he was—amongst other things—head of department and supervisor of the Juss-Buss-project.
