One query over BOTH corpora: federal and Land statutes (lexical, with concept pinning) and court decisions (semantic — natural-language questions work well here and are the better shape for case law). Search both unless you have a reason not to. A term of art often does not appear in the statute that governs it: 'Verzugspauschale' matches no provision (§ 288 BGB says 'Pauschale in Höhe von 40 Euro') while 184 decisions use the word. scope='norms' alone will read as 'nothing here' in exactly those cases. CROSS-LAND COMPARISON: a single query returns the parallel provisions of the Bund and of every covered Land side by side, each row jurisdiction-labelled, plus a `by_jurisdiction` roll-up. Ask 'Videoüberwachung öffentlich zugänglicher Räume' and you get BDSG § 4 next to the Land data-protection and police provisions. Full text is held for Bayern, Brandenburg, Nordrhein-Westfalen and Sachsen. Decision hits come back already anchored at the best-matching Randnummer (…#rd_51), so you can quote a paragraph rather than a document, AND carry `doknr` — the key `listCasePassages`, `listCitedAuthorities` and `listCitingDecisions` take, so you can go straight from a search hit to that decision's passages or its authorities without resolving anything first. Query in German; write raw umlauts, they are handled.
