He is a son of Francis and Hilde Sejersted.[1] He has been a professor of law at the University of Oslo, and is known for chairing the Sejersted Commission (Seijersted-utvalget) from 2010 until they delivered the Norwegian Official Report 2012:2.[2] He was appointed Attorney General of Norway from 2015, taking over the position after Sven Ole Fagernæs.[3] In 2019, Carl Baudenbacher harshly criticized Sejersted in an op-ed for allegedly trying to undermine the law and courts of the European Free-Trade Area.[4] Sejersted published a rebuttal in a similarly harsh op-ed.[5]
