What this search can do — and when your AI does more

This page

  • Full-text search over 900,000+ decisions from more than 120 federal and cantonal courts and authorities, updated daily.
  • Exact citation and docket lookup (BGE 140 III 86 · 6B_607/2024) — the decision itself, surfaced above the list.
  • Operators AND · OR · NOT · "exact phrase" · prefix*, plus language, BGE/BGer and newest-first filters.
  • BGE headnotes are trilingual, so a French or Italian query finds the German leading case too — and results jump straight into the matched consideration (→ E. 3.4).
