Das Schweizerische Bundesgericht im internationalen Kontext

What is genuinely Swiss about the position of the Federal Supreme Court in the Swiss federal state and what has emerged in the conflict with foreign and international influences?
What is the Swiss legal culture expressed in its organisation and in the way its judges are appointed?
Susanne Leuzinger, former federal judge at the Swiss Federal Supreme Court, focuses on formative elements - such as the limited constitutional jurisdiction and the importance of federalism. The emphasis of the study is placed on the development of fundamental rights and the methods of obtaining law, with the interaction of domestic and foreign influences always of interest.
However, the penetration of Swiss law by international law, including European law, in the case law of the Federal Supreme Court is also illuminated.
"The Anthology of Swiss Legal Culture" presents the development of Swiss legal culture in its international references on the basis of relevant original texts (academic texts, official texts such as court decisions, etc.). They are accompanied by a presentation of the background and a summary of the individual texts as well as biographical information about the authors.
