The Swiss Institute of Comparative Law (ISDC) is an independent administrative unit of the Confederation. We make foreign law and international law accessible and thus make an important contribution to legal practice and science.

We provide support to judicial and administrative authorities, law firms, notary offices as well as individuals, and conduct our own research in comparative law. Our research themes revolve around legal issues that are of particular importance to Switzerland, which touch on the legal challenges of complex societies or concern a globalized economy.

Our excellent specialized library, which is distinguished in Switzerland by the unique diversity of its documentary collections on foreign legal systems, constitutes an invaluable resource. As a member of the Swisscovery national library network, it also benefits from a vast network of relationships, in Switzerland and internationally.
