About swisslaw.io

swisslaw.io aims to improve access to justice: anyone living in Switzerland should be able to find out, free and in plain language, what applies, what they can do and by when. The guides are built from the law in force and case law, reviewed by a lawyer and published as open data so that advice centres, authorities and others can reuse them. A project by Jonas Hertner.

Every guide rests on the law in force and on case law. The cited articles are checked against the official text every week.

A lawyer reviews every guide before it is published.

Your answers and dates stay on your device. No account, no tracking.

Statutes and case law come from OpenCaseLaw, the open collection of Swiss law, and from Fedlex.
