The local picture
Binningen
Binningen borders the city of Basel directly and belongs to the Arlesheim district of Basel-Landschaft. Although it has grown together with Basel, the Basel-Landschaft authorities apply here: the Zivilkreisgericht Basel-Landschaft West for civil cases and employment disputes, the Strafgericht Basel-Landschaft for criminal cases and the Staatsanwaltschaft Basel-Landschaft for investigations. Tenancy disputes start before the Schlichtungsstelle für Mietangelegenheiten.
In Binningen the cantonal border is sometimes just a street away; for jurisdiction, though, it makes all the difference. On ora. you compare verified lawyers and legal advisers from both Basel cantons by area of law, language and fee, and book at the law firm or by video. The practitioner sets the fee; ora.’s service fee sits on a separate line.

Deadlines are short: have your request checked early.
