Biography
Lambertz was born in Kisa in Östergötland County. He received a Candidate of Law (Swedish: juris kandidat) from Uppsala University in 1976. He became an Assessor at the Svea Court of Appeal (Swedish: Svea hovrätt) and was employed at the Swedish Ministry of Justice the same year. In 1994 Lambertz was appointed as Assistant Undersecretary (Swedish: departementsråd) and in 1997 as Chief of Justice (Swedish: rättschef) at the Ministry of Justice. He was appointed as Chancellor of Justice on October 1, 2001. He stepped down in 2009, becoming a judge in the supreme court instead.
Lambertz has been married to Susanne Lambertz, who works as a microbiologist, since 1975. The wedding, that was small scale, took place in Paris.
Issues and controversies
Göran Lambertz has received much attention in Swedish media. No chancellor of justice before him has been so well known to the people. This has also resulted in much criticism against him.
He refused to investigate the antisemitic character of the Yassin tapes in the Stockholm Mosk which led to international criticism.
As a supreme court judge, he still defends his 2006 decision not to act in the case of Thomas Quick.
