-Create a better search engine by keywords and law articles for the website of the [[http://www.bger.ch/fr/index/juridiction/jurisdiction-inherit-template/jurisdiction-recht/jurisdiction-recht-leitentscheide1954.htm|Swiss Supreme Court]].+{{:project:legal:yacy-search-1.png?200}}{{:project:legal:yacy-search-2.png?210}}
  
-Currently, searching jurisprudence through Google is more efficient than through the Swiss Supreme Court website, which actually gives business to a company like [[http://www.swisslex.ch|Swisslex]] which charges prohibitive fees for making an efficient jurisprudential research. +In this project we are developing an open search engine by keywords and law articles for the website of the [[http://www.bger.ch/fr/index/juridiction/jurisdiction-inherit-template/jurisdiction-recht/jurisdiction-recht-leitentscheide1954.htm|Swiss Supreme Court]]. Currently, the Swiss Supreme Court website search is powered by [[http://www.swisslex.ch|Swisslex]], which charges fees for efficient jurisprudential research. Searching their website with Google is a free alternative, however this type of search is too generic and broad. 
 + 
 +Based on data of the [[http://www.bger.ch/|Swiss Federal Supreme Court]], Alexander has built an online case history crawler, the demo of which can be accessed here:
