In 1985 Erwin Jutzet was defeated in the third round of the cantonal judge election by lawyer Pierre Corboz (62 against 56 votes).

The Freiburg resident was appointed substitute judge at the cantonal and federal courts.

In 1981 he ran unsuccessfully for the upper office of the Sense District, but was elected in the same year as a member of that district in the Grand Council, of which he was a member until 1995. He worked hard to ensure that German and French are recognized as official languages ​​with equal rights.

From 1988 to 1994 he was the SP parliamentary group leader and in 1995 he presided over the Grand Council.

In 1995 Erwin Jutzet was elected to the National Council, where he sat until March 2007.

In 1991 he ran unsuccessfully for the Council of State. In 2006 he was elected and took over the security and justice management. He was a member of the Justice Council and has chaired the Commission for Organized Crime and White-collar Crime of the Conference of Cantonal Justice and Police Directors since 2008. In 2011 he was President of the State Council.

Erwin Jutzet carried out important reforms that are reflected in laws. So he presented the project for a community police force and a law on video surveillance. The Grand Council approved his proposal to accommodate the cantonal court in the former Augustinian monastery. The judges had spoken out against this building. A new building was planned for the police. He also pushed through the adoption of laws on the harmonization of registers and on civil protection. A law on the fire police, which includes a reorganization of the fire brigade, and an executive law on the civil code have also been approved.

He presented a draft law on the integration of migrants and the prevention of racism. A law on prostitution was passed, as was one on development cooperation. He concluded agreements with the Canton of Bern on the supervision of pension funds.
