    Justice in the canton of Uri

    Which authority for which dispute?

    Before you consult, it helps to know who decides. Here are the competent authorities for the whole canton and the districts they serve, each with its official website.

    1. Tenancy

      Tenancy: the cantonal conciliation board

      A dispute over rent, defects or a notice to quit starts at the Schlichtungsbehörde des Kantons Uri, the cantonal conciliation board. It covers the whole canton, from the lower Reuss valley to the Urserental, and first tries to reach an agreement between tenant and landlord. If conciliation fails, it issues an authorisation to go to the Landgericht Uri. A lawyer helps with the application and the deadlines, which are short.

    2. Work

      Employment: the Landgericht

      The canton of Uri has no separate employment court. Disputes arising from employment – dismissal, wages, overtime, references – go to the Landgericht Uri, the canton’s only first-instance court. If you work for a business based outside the canton, a court at its seat may also have jurisdiction. An employment lawyer checks where the claim belongs and the deadlines.

    3. Family

      Family: one court for the whole canton

      Separation, divorce, custody and maintenance go first to the Landgericht Uri in Altdorf, whether you live in Altdorf, Erstfeld, Andermatt or Flüelen. Because there is only this one court, jurisdiction in family matters is simple. A family lawyer looks with you at whether an agreement is possible before any proceedings begin.

    4. Criminal

      Criminal law: prosecutor and Landgericht

      Criminal investigations are led by the Staatsanwaltschaft Uri (public prosecutor), which often closes simple cases with a penalty order. If charges are brought, the Landgericht Uri tries the case. Because Uri lies on the north–south Gotthard route, many proceedings also involve people from outside the canton. The deadline for objecting to a penalty order is short, so get advice without delay.

    5. Legal aid

      Legal aid: apply to the court

      If you cannot pay for proceedings and your case is not without prospects, you can apply for legal aid. In the canton of Uri, the application goes to the court competent for the case, which at first instance is the Landgericht Uri. It can cover court costs and the appointment of a lawyer. A practitioner can tell you whether you meet the conditions.

    Local answers, checked against official sources. A practitioner can look at your situation in detail.

    See all questions
    How do I find a verified lawyer in the canton of Uri?

    On ora., every lawyer is checked against a cantonal bar register and every legal adviser holds a Swiss law degree. You filter by area of law and language, compare profiles and fees, and book a meeting at a firm in Altdorf or by video – useful if you live up one of the side valleys.

    How do I challenge an administrative decision in the canton of Uri?

    Uri has no stand-alone administrative court. Appeals against decisions by cantonal authorities, on building, tax or permits for example, are heard, once the cantonal steps are exhausted, by the Verwaltungsrechtliche Abteilung des Obergerichts des Kantons Uri, the administrative law division of the high court. An appeal to the cantonal government is often required first. A lawyer checks the right route and deadline.

    How much does a lawyer cost in the canton of Uri?

    Each practitioner sets their own fee, shown on every profile before you book. ora.’s service fee is a separate line and is never added into the practitioner’s fee. You pay the practitioner directly. If you cannot afford proceedings, legal aid may be available.

    What does the Urner Anwalts- und Notarenverband do?

    The Urner Anwalts- und Notarenverband brings together the canton’s lawyers and notaries. Membership is not the same as being entered in the cantonal bar register, which is what allows a lawyer to represent clients in court. That register entry is what ora. checks before publishing a lawyer’s profile.
