The correct answer
- Has its headquarters in Zürich, with 38 permanents judges elected by the Federal Assembly
Why
The Federal Court does not have its headquarters in Zurich but in Lausanne, and the number of permanent judges differs from that stated. The Federal Court is Switzerland's highest judicial authority and handles disputes between cantons or between cantons and the Confederation.
- It’s the highest judiciary authority of the Confederation
- Has its headquarters in Zürich, with 38 permanents judges elected by the Federal Assembly
- The duration of the mandate is 6 years
- It’s the link between Cantons and between Cantons and the Confederation in case of conflict
