Common Portal of Case Law

Common portal of case law

The Common portal of case law is a meta-search engine. It was created by the Network of the Presidents of the European Supreme Courts. It has been released in April 2007 and allows to query on several search engines simultaneously.

Three automatic translation tools (Google Translate, Deepl and the translation tool of the EU Commission) have been integrated into the Portal which enables users to access and read court decisions in any language supported by the tools.

The Common Portal of Case Law and the automatic translation feature are available to all users (public and registered).
