First question: Yes!
Second question: Not to my knowledge!
Caveat: Sweden is not known for bribery, and any case of a bribed judge would
really stick out. I haven't heard of any, neither now or from the written
history.
There are lay judges (nämndemän) that can overrule the sitting judge (domaren).
There is a jury only in cases about freedom of the press.
I think the lay influence would take care of both bribery and flagrant examples
of bias.
You are welcome to study the Swedish jurisprudence system.
The firs written down laws are from the 12th century ( Västgötalagen and den
Skaanska lov ).
By the way. I think I was the second anon. poster.
I didn't like the mention of bribery. That it something that shouldn't be said
about anybody till it is proven beyond doubt. That is true for a judge also.
