Information about the site

The Oikeus.fi website provides basic information on legal issues that are important to citizens such as how to deal with family and financial matters and how to resolve criminal and civil disputes. The site also contains links to the online and e-services of the judiciary and the contact details of agencies. The Ministry of Justice Finland is responsible for the content of the site. However, the Agency for Special Authorities in Judicial Administration and Board on Trial Counsel areresponsible for their own pages.

The site contains general information on the functioning of the judiciary, and no specific cases and exceptions are described. The procedure in a particular legal case may therefore differ from that described on the website.

For specific legal questions please contact a law firm or legal aid office. You can contact any legal aid office, but it is best to use the nearest one.
