The local picture
Zofingen
Zofingen, with its old town, is the main town of the Zofingen district in the south-west of the canton. The Bezirksgericht Zofingen (district court) sits here and hears civil and criminal cases from every municipality in the district, including Oftringen, Rothrist, Aarburg and Strengelbach. The Arbeitsgericht Zofingen decides employment disputes, and the Schlichtungsbehörde für Miete und Pacht des Bezirks Zofingen conciliates tenancy disputes. Criminal investigations are led by the Staatsanwaltschaft des Kantons Aargau; administrative appeals ultimately reach the Verwaltungsgericht des Kantons Aargau in Aarau.
Zofingen is close to the borders with the cantons of Lucerne and Solothurn. If you live in the district and work in Olten or Sursee, a court in another canton may also have jurisdiction in an employment dispute; a lawyer checks where the claim belongs. 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
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.

Legal aid
Legal aid: the URP
If you cannot pay for proceedings and your case is not without prospects, you can apply in Aargau for Legal aid (URP). The application goes to the court competent for the case, which at first instance is usually the district court. It can cover court costs and the appointment of a lawyer. A practitioner can tell you whether your situation qualifies.

If charges are brought, the Bezirksgericht Zofingen (district court) tries the case at first instance.

You pay when you book on ora.; the lawyer’s fee and the service fee appear as two separate lines. You pay the practitioner directly. If you cannot afford proceedings, look into legal aid first: in Aargau, the application for legal aid (URP) is made to the court that is competent for your case.
