# Atlas des Schweizer Rechts / Atlas of Swiss Law

> Every federal and cantonal act of Switzerland in force (21,697 acts), the earlier federal acts (11,764),
> how each rests on another (the legal bases its preamble states), the cross-references between federal acts, and how often
> courts cite each act and article (decisions from OpenCaseLaw). Data as of 2026-10-26. By jonashertner.com. Not official:
> Fedlex and the cantons' collections are authoritative.

## Pages
- https://jonashertner.github.io/swiss-law-graph/ — the map (DE/FR/IT/EN). Links: `#<lang>/<id>` an act (`#de/220` the OR, `#de/ZH/700.1` a cantonal act,
  `#de/220:art_41` an article), `#<lang>@<year>/…` the same in a past year, `#<lang>/net`, `#<lang>/cantons/<SR>`,
  `#<lang>/check` (gaps and dead references), `#<lang>/new`, `#<lang>/method` (how every number is computed).

## Data (static files, CC0)
