attorney/lawyer on duty
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.

: 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.

: 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.
