Fedlex – Swiss federal law ↗

The decision vividly illustrates the difference between drafting and deciding: Jeannine Schweizer is named as court clerk, the judicial decision is attributed to the adjudicating panel.

What the source states

In public court decisions, judicial and court-clerk functions are often shown together. For a person database it is crucial not to merge these entries into a single role.

Distinction

Jeannine Schweizer is listed as court clerk. The judges form the panel. Therefore, the mention of Schweizer must not be presented as if she had the same decision-making authority as the judicial members.

Transparency in the graph

This distinction also improves the linking of the subtabs: under Persons Schweizer appears with their function, under Institutions the Cantonal Court, under Actions the documented decision process and under Sources the underlying document.
