Tenancy
Tenancy: the cantonal conciliation authority
A dispute over rent, a defect, the deposit or a notice to quit normally starts in the canton of Glarus before the cantonal conciliation authority (Kantonale Schlichtungsbehörde Glarus). It tries to bring the parties to an agreement. If that fails, the case can go to the cantonal court (Kantonsgericht Glarus). Time limits for challenging a notice or a rent are short, so a tenancy lawyer reviews your documents and helps with the application.

Work
Employment: the cantonal court
The canton of Glarus has a single court of first instance: the cantonal court (Kantonsgericht Glarus) also hears employment disputes – dismissal, unpaid wages, overtime or a work certificate. There is no separate employment tribunal. To claim that a dismissal is abusive, you must object in writing while the notice period is still running. A practitioner checks the deadlines and evidence first.

Family
Family: the cantonal court as well
Protective measures, separation, divorce, custody and maintenance are decided at first instance by the cantonal court (Kantonsgericht Glarus), whether you live in Glarus, Glarus Nord or Glarus Süd. Often an agreement can be reached that the court then only has to approve. A first consultation, also by video, clarifies your rights, the documents you need and the best route.

Criminal
Criminal law: the public and juvenile prosecutor
A complaint, a summons to an interview or a penalty order: the investigation is led by the public prosecutor’s office (Staats- und Jugendanwaltschaft des Kantons Glarus), and for minors by the juvenile prosecutor. If charges are brought, the cantonal court decides at first instance. The time limit for objecting to a penalty order is very short, so seek advice from a criminal lawyer without delay.

Legal aid
Legal aid: an application to the court
If you cannot afford proceedings and your case is not without prospects, you can apply for legal aid. The application goes to the competent court, which at first instance is the cantonal court (Kantonsgericht Glarus). Legal aid can exempt you from advances and court costs and allow a lawyer to be appointed for you. A practitioner can tell you whether your situation qualifies.
