The new database on the Court of Justice of the EU (CJEU) is an interdisciplinary collaboration between more than 20 scholars in law and political science, at different European universities, within the framework of the IUROPA project.
The database gives researchers access to cases, proceedings, decisions and judges of the CJEU. This in turn makes large statistical analysis of judicial behaviour of the CJEU more readily available to researchers.

‘I am incredible proud that we are now able to publish the first version of the IUROPA CJEU Database,’ says Daniel Naurin at ARENA Centre for European Studies who leads the IUROPA project.
‘This will give scholars in both law and political science new opportunities to conduct systematic research on Europe’s most important court.’
The database is financed by the Swedish Research Council, with support from ARENA Centre for European Studies, PluriCourts and European University Institute.
