What is the Selection of Major Judgments?

The Selection of Major Judgments is an annual publication produced by the Research and Documentation Directorate. It provides legal professionals with a concise analysis of the most important case-law developments, as identified by the Court of Justice and the General Court. The first edition was published in 2023, covering judgments delivered in 2022.

Each Selection of Major Judgments is a collection of abstracts, grouped by subject matter, according to a system inspired by the structure of the Treaties of the European Union.
