Courts

The courts index on Case Law Hub provides a structured overview of the judicial systems across the European Union member states covered by our platform. You can explore court decisions organized by country and court level, from supreme courts and constitutional tribunals down to appellate courts, first-instance tribunals, and specialized courts. Our coverage spans Romania (including the Înalta Curte de Casație și Justiție and curțile de apel), Germany (including the Bundesgerichtshof, Bundesverfassungsgericht, and Oberlandesgerichte), the Netherlands (including the Hoge Raad and gerechtshoven), France (including the Cour de Cassation and cours d'appel), and the Court of Justice of the European Union. Each court page aggregates all indexed decisions from that jurisdiction, giving you direct access to the full body of case law produced by each institution. The court-level hierarchy helps legal researchers understand the procedural posture of each decision — whether it is a final ruling from a supreme court, an appellate judgment, or a first-instance determination. By filtering courts by country, you can quickly navigate to the judicial system of a specific member state and browse its courts by hierarchical level. This structured approach to court decisions supports efficient legal research across EU jurisdictions, enabling comparative analysis of how different national courts interpret and apply European law.
