The court primarily reviews decisions made by lower courts and interprets federal laws, providing legal clarity and consistency. Located in Lausanne, the court consists of several divisions, each specializing in different areas of law, such as civil, criminal, and administrative matters. Its rulings are final and binding, playing a crucial role in upholding the rule of law and protecting individual rights within the Swiss legal system.
