Brugg lies in the Brugg district, in the canton of Aargau.
Brugg lies by the «Wasserschloss», where the Aare, Reuss and Limmat meet, and forms a single urban and university area with Windisch. As the main town of the Brugg district, it is the seat of the Bezirksgericht Brugg (district court), which hears civil and criminal cases from every municipality in the district. Employment disputes go to the Arbeitsgericht Brugg, tenancy disputes to the Schlichtungsbehörde für Miete und Pacht des Bezirks Brugg. Criminal investigations are led by the Staatsanwaltschaft des Kantons Aargau.
These bodies also cover Windisch, Hausen or Schinznach, whereas nearby Baden is a separate district with its own court. If you live in Brugg and work in Baden or Zurich, have the jurisdiction checked in an employment dispute.

Tenancy
In Aargau, each district has its own conciliation board for tenancy and leases. A dispute over rent, defects or a notice to quit starts before the board of the district where the flat or premises are located – in Baden, for example, the Schlichtungsbehörde für Miete und Pacht des Bezirks Baden. It looks for an agreement; if none is reached, it issues an authorisation to go to court. A lawyer helps with the application and the deadlines, which are often short.

Work
Each Aargau district court has its own employment court, which decides disputes between employers and employees: contested dismissals, unpaid wages, overtime, references. The competent court is generally the one where the defendant is based or where the work is done. Because many Aargau residents work in Zurich or Basel, a lawyer first checks jurisdiction and the deadlines.

Family
Separation, divorce, custody and maintenance go first to the district court. Each district has its own: Aarau, Baden, Bremgarten, Brugg, Kulm, Laufenburg, Lenzburg, Muri, Rheinfelden, Zofingen and Zurzach. Jurisdiction generally follows the residence of one of the parties. A family lawyer reviews your options and the prospects of an agreement with you before any proceedings begin.

Criminal
Criminal investigations are led by the Staatsanwaltschaft des Kantons Aargau (public prosecutor), which often closes simple cases with a penalty order. If charges are brought, the district court where the offence was committed tries the case. The deadline for objecting to a penalty order is short, so get advice without delay, whether you are accused or reporting an offence as a victim.
