Göta Court of Appeal

The Göta Court of Appeal (Swedish: Göta hovrätt), located in Jönköping, is one of the six appellate courts in the Swedish legal system.

The court was established in 1634 during the regency of Queen Christina.

In the beginning, the jurisdiction was Götaland, which in those days also included Värmland.

In 1992, Örebro County was transferred to the jurisdiction of the Göta court.

The building for the Göta court in Jönköping was put into use in 1650 and is the building that has been used the longest time for judiciary purposes in Sweden.
