The local picture
Morges
The district town on Lake Geneva is home to the Ministère public d’arrondissement de La Côte, the regional public prosecutor that leads criminal investigations for the Morges and Nyon districts. Otherwise, Morges belongs to the La Côte judicial arrondissement: the Tribunal d’arrondissement de La Côte (district court) hears civil and criminal cases at first instance, and the Tribunal de prud’hommes de l’arrondissement de La Côte (labour court) employment disputes.
The Morges district reaches as far as Cossonay and the foot of the Jura, and all its municipalities come under the same authorities. On ora., you compare verified lawyers and legal advisers in the region by area of law and language, then book at the office or by video. The practitioner sets their fee, ora.’s service fee is charged separately, and you pay the practitioner directly.

Tenancy
Tenancy: the prefecture’s conciliation board first
A dispute with your landlord, whether over rent, a defect or a notice to quit, normally starts before the Commission préfectorale de conciliation en matière de baux à loyer, the tenancy conciliation board. Each district has its own, attached to the prefecture; the one where the property is located has jurisdiction. It tries to bring the parties to an agreement; if that fails, the case can go to court. A lawyer helps you draft the application and meet the deadlines.

Employment: four labour courts
Vaud’s ten districts are grouped into four judicial arrondissements, each with its own labour court (tribunal de prud’hommes): Lausanne, Est vaudois, La Côte, and Broye et Nord vaudois. It decides disputes between employers and employees, from a contested dismissal to unpaid wages or a work reference. Before you act, a lawyer checks your documents and any deadline that is already running.

Criminal: the regional public prosecutor
A criminal complaint, a summons to an interview or a summary penalty order: investigations are led by the Ministère public du canton de Vaud, the cantonal public prosecutor, through its regional offices for Lausanne, Est vaudois, La Côte and Nord vaudois. The trial then takes place before the district court. The deadline to object to a summary penalty order is short, so speak to a lawyer without delay.
