Set your legal sources

For every search you choose the country and the sources CASUS searches. You set your default choice once in your preferences.

At a glance

  • Switzerland: Federal Supreme Court, cantonal courts, Liechtenstein and, if you like, Swiss laws.
  • Germany, Austria, Italy, France and Spain have their own courts and sources to choose from.
  • EU sources with case law, laws and authorities are available everywhere except Switzerland. They are on from the start.
  • If you change the jurisdiction, all sources are selected again.
  • In Word, CASUS uses the jurisdiction from your account.

How it works

  1. 1
    In CASUS, open your account and, under Personal, Preferences.
  2. 2
    Under Legal research, choose the Default jurisdiction and the Default sources. CASUS saves each change at once.

  4. 4
    To search differently for one question, open the source choice with the arrow next to the scales icon.
    The Legal Research source picker in the input field
