The Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) has started to implement what is arguably the most signi cant set of reforms since the Nice Treaty, with notably the doubling of the number of judges at the General Court and the disappearance of the Civil Service Tribunal. Controversies surrounding the process and outcomes of the reforms called for a broader re ection on the European Courts and the way they cope with old and new challenges. To this end, this volume brings together junior and seasoned academics and practitioners to take stock of the various aspects of these reforms and the overall functioning of the EU Judiciary, from comparative, 'insider', and 'outsider' perspectives.Broadening and deepening our understanding of the reorganisation of the EU Judiciary, the contributors offer incisive analyses of reforms and evolutions, including:- a critical appraisal of the reform process and the role and powers of the CJEU;- implications of the reforms for the Court of Justice and the General Court;- lessons from the practice of the now dismantled Civil Service Tribunal;- a re ection on the future Uni ed Patent Court;- an evaluation of the role of the CJEU's members and staffs and their selection;- an insider's perspective into the workings of the repeat players (Legal Services of the European Commission and of the European Parliament) and the parties' lawyers;- an assessment of the procedural reforms before the Court of Justice and the General Court with a speci c focus on the PPU;- the unfolding and impact of the digital revolution (e-Curia) on the CJEU;- the challenges of the languages regime and legal reasoning before the CJEU.Comparative perspectives elucidate speci c judiciary reforms across Europe, including detailed analyses of developments at the European Court of Human Rights, the French Conseil Constitutionnel, and the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom.As a timely assessment of the effects of recent reforms on the EU Courts' decision-making practices, roles, and identities, and more broadly on the legitimacy of the EU and its institutions as a whole, this book is unparalleled. It will be of great value to practitioners engaged in EU litigation, scholars of European law and policymakers at EU institutions, and all those interested in judicial process and reform.
