Swiss Institute for the Judiciary

The task of the Swiss Institute of the Judiciary is to conduct in-depth scientific research into the function and effects of the Third Power, and to make it more accessible to the public and the scientific community. The target audiences are in particular the judiciary, the legal profession, the public, the scientific community and politics. 

The institute is: 
● part of a national and international network; 
● a centre for information, expertise and other services on questions concerning the judiciary; 
● a research centre on the judiciary; 
● a documentation centre; 
● an institution for the exchange and transfer of knowledge within the framework of scientific conferences in cooperation and consultation with other institutions.

The Institute pursues an interdisciplinary approach. In addition to the focus on the jurisprudential side, the political and social science aspects are also to be given special attention. 

The institute will be active on Youtube from 2021.
