CJEU (Court of Justice of the European Union)
The Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) is the EU’s judicial institution, made up of the Court of Justice and the General Court; its rulings interpret EU law for every member state.
CJEU case law is published on EUR-Lex under CELEX sector 6 (for example 62018CJ0311) and on curia.europa.eu. Advocate General opinions are published alongside judgments.
Arieta Data ships CJEU judgments, orders and opinions with their ECLI, and links them into the citation graph through Cellar’s case-law citation relations.
