Schweizerisches juristisches Wörterbuch

The Swiss Legal Dictionary offers around 10,000 entries from public law, private law, and international law, providing a clear and easily understandable overview of the Swiss legal vocabulary, including the most important phrases. It is an indispensable tool for students, lawyers, candidates for higher professional examinations, insurance and banking employees, as well as for employees in public administrations.

The work does not only focus on the description of technical terms, application examples, and legal references (which also indicate the legal field to which the respective word belongs), but it also provides a variety of references to related terms, including synonyms and antonyms, to illustrate connections and thereby make complex matters understandable and accessible to non-lawyers.

The starting point is generally the respective entry (main word), which, where necessary, is subdivided into its compound forms created by adjectives, each accompanied by the explanations necessary for understanding and usage.
