Norway: State and Church Separate After 500 Years, a 2017 Global Legal Monitor note by Law Library of Congress staff, confirms the 2012 constitutional amendments and the 1 January 2017 legal separation, including the shift of clergy from civil servant status. Its strength is that it is an official United States government legal research note supplementing Nylenna and Sirris for the same claim. Its limit is that it shares its author byline and its 2017 year with an entirely unrelated Global Legal Monitor note on Samoa's constitutional amendment by the same prolific institutional office, a pairing this pass inspected individually and confirmed is not a duplicate: the two notes cover different countries and different legal changes.
