====== Swiss Courts ======

Design a portal for information about Swiss legal courts based on open data: basic information, national hierarchy (if there is any), judges and their association with the individual courts, history of cases, trials and the resolutions (judges and courts involved, timeline), and explore ways of linking this to external data sources such as media and social coverage.

=== Hackathon goals ===

  - Read and organize open data about Swiss courts
  - Discuss and plan technical solutions to the portal
  - Create a basic design for the Web application
  - Implement the database, and put the site online
