Swiss law, clearly documented.

This page offers a simple way into Swiss legal information. You can find people, institutions, topics and articles. Each area leads to its own overview.

For people, the documented role comes first. Former roles stay marked as former. Current roles are shown separately. Dates help explain when information applied.

The same rule applies to institutions. Courts, authorities, law firms and other bodies have their own pages. The home page shows only a small selection.

Topics help organise related material. A topic may connect people, institutions and articles. A documented link matters more than a repeated word.

The Law Blog explains individual questions. Each article focuses on one point. Sources, documented statements and editorial explanation remain separate.

Official sources come first. Courts, authorities and public registers are preferred when they provide the relevant information.

Time matters too. Roles can change. Public pages can change. New decisions can appear later. Old and new information should not be mixed.

Open questions should stay open. A guess is not a documented fact. If a clear source is missing, the wording should show that.

The home page is mainly for orientation. It therefore shows only a few examples. More entries are available in the main sections.

Home page cards stay short. Details belong on the relevant pages. This keeps the overview calm and easy to scan.

A frequently repeated name is not proof of importance. Role, time and source matter more.

Dates are shown only where they help. They can show when a role applied or when a source was checked.

All five language versions use the same basic structure. The aim is clear and readable text in every language.

Visitors can follow a detail page to the original source. This matters because official pages can change.

New material can be added over time. Roles can change. Institutions can update their information. Older records stay separate from current facts.

The site should not make a simple point sound complex. Clear sentences and short paragraphs help.

Visitors can report a correction. A note is checked before public information is changed.

In short: source first, documented statement second, explanation third.
