The local picture
Möhlin
Möhlin lies in the lower Fricktal on the Rhine, which forms the border with Germany here, and is part of the Rheinfelden district, so hearings take place in Rheinfelden. The Bezirksgericht Rheinfelden (district court) is competent for civil and criminal cases, the Arbeitsgericht Rheinfelden for employment disputes. Tenancy disputes start at the Schlichtungsbehörde für Miete und Pacht des Bezirks Rheinfelden, criminal investigations are led by the Staatsanwaltschaft des Kantons Aargau, and administrative appeals ultimately reach the Verwaltungsgericht des Kantons Aargau.
Being close to the border raises its own questions: employment contracts for cross-border commuters, estates with assets on both sides of the Rhine or contracts with German companies. A lawyer clarifies which law applies and which court is competent. On ora., every lawyer is checked against a cantonal bar register and every legal adviser against their Swiss law degree. You book at the office or by video; ora.’s service fee is kept separate from the practitioner’s fee.

Tenancy
Tenancy: the district conciliation board
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
Employment: the employment court at the district court
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
Family: the district court where you live
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 law: prosecutor and district court
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.
