Biography edit

Aubert was born at Christiania (now Oslo), Norway. He was the son of professor Ludvig Cæsar Martin Aubert (1807-1887) and his wife Ida Dorothea Mariboe (1811–1900). Aubert's brother was art educator and historian Fredrik Ludvig Andreas Vibe Aubert (1851–1913). [2][3]

From 1855, Aubert was a law student at the University of Christiania (now University of Oslo) graduating Cand.jur. in 1860. He started his career as a magistrate at Nord-Gudbrandsdal District Court. Aubert was engaged as a university fellow and in 1864 became a lecturer. Aubert was a professor of law at the University of Oslo from 1866. He published noted works of legal history, comparative law and commercial law.[4][5]

A moderate Conservative, Aubert also served as Minister of Justice from April to June 1884 with the Schweigaard Government. [6] [7] [8]
