The local picture
Wettingen
Wettingen faces Baden from the other bank of the Limmat and is known for its former Cistercian abbey. Although Wettingen is a large municipality in its own right, it has no court of its own: it belongs to the Baden district. Civil and criminal cases therefore go to the Bezirksgericht Baden (district court), employment disputes to the Arbeitsgericht Baden, and tenancy disputes start at the Schlichtungsbehörde für Miete und Pacht des Bezirks Baden.
For people in Wettingen, the nearest law firm is often in Baden, just over the bridge. For a first assessment of a tenancy agreement, a dismissal or an inheritance, though, a video meeting is often enough. Profiles on ora. show practice areas, languages and fees, and every register entry is checked. You pay the practitioner directly.

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: 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
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.
