English translation:attorney/lawyer on duty
Explanation:
jourh probably means "jourhavende", so perhaps it could be translated as attorney on duty, or something of that nature. It really depends on the context (which you did not provide).

"prosecutor on duty", as pointed out by Leif, seems more appropriate; most google hits for "jourhavende jurist" seem to refer to someone in a prosecuting capacity.

agree  Leif Henriksen: Basically correct, but the attorney is on duty in capacity as a *prosecutor*. Thus, I would prefer *prosecutor on duty*. Standard expression, no more context needed.

agree  Per Bergvall: I wouuld like to add that this is clearly a 'swecism', a word adopted from Swedish. The appropriate Norwegian word would be 'vakthavende' jurist/anklager.
