Cantonal Courts

Cantonal Courts are regional courts within Switzerland's judicial system, serving specific cantons or regions. They handle a wide range of cases, including civil, criminal, and administrative matters, applying national and local law. These courts function as the primary courts of first instance for many disputes, ensuring access to justice at the regional level. They operate independently within their jurisdiction to hear cases, evaluate evidence, and deliver rulings, playing a crucial role in implementing the rule of law across Switzerland’s diverse cantonal regions.
