Abstract
The seat of the Federal Court is Lausanne, not Bern which is the capital of Switzerland. Since the capital is located in the German-speaking part of the country, the French-speaking city of Lausanne was primarily chosen as seat of the Court to establish a major governmental institution in French-speaking Switzerland. That the Court is purposely located here, is also thought to strengthen its independence from the other branches of government.
