The European Union is a rich tapestry of cultures and traditions — also regarding its justice systems. While research, analysis and indicators on member states’ judiciary systems abound, information tends to be dispersed across various sources, including legal documents, scholarly journals, and myriad rankings from different organisations.
 This is why in January 2024 under the re:constitution project and with support from Stiftung Mercator, we launched the Judiciary Hub, a one-stop resource for experts and professionals both within and beyond the legal field seeking to navigate Europe’s judicial landscape.


At the time when the EU faces internal rule of law challenges and when disinformation and partisan narratives cloud public debate, the Judiciary Hub offers fast, reliable access to data, analysis and trustworthy sources.

Extended coverage to EU candidate countries

We expanded the Hub to include EU membership candidate countries. This provides valuable insights into broader justice systems across Europe, and support comparisons, learning, and accession discussions. The Hub also includes Kosovo (without implying a position on its status). This work is being done in collaboration with the Konrad Adenauer Stiftung and will be launched by the end of 2025.
