- CONTENT -
The European Court of Justice (ECJ, French: Cour de Justice Européenne), officially recognized as the Court of Justice, is the Supreme Court of the European Union in the affairs of EU law. As part of the Court of Justice of the European Union, it should interpret the EU law and ensure its equal implementation in all 27 member states of the European Union (Italy, Belgium, Germany, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, France, Ireland, Denmark, Greece, Spain, Portugal, Austria, Sweden, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Slovenia, Slovakia, Poland, the Czech Republic of Cyprus, and the United Kingdom of Romania, in the past.
The court was established in 1952 and is located in Luxembourg. It consists of one judge for every member state, although it is usually discussed in three, five or fifteen judges. The court has been led by President Conn since 2015.
The European Court of Justice is the Supreme Court of the European Union on the matters of EU law, but not national law. It is not possible to appeal to national court decisions in the United States, but to address questions by national courts on EU law for the High Court. However, in the end, the earthly court should apply the interpretation obtained on facts in any given case. However, only final appeal courts are committed to directing a question of the EU law when sentenced to it. Art prepares the court the authority for a consistent implementation of the EU law throughout the Union.
The court also acts as a arbitrator between the institutions of the European Union and can cancel the legal rights of the latter if it acts outside its powers.
History of History
The court was established in 1952 by the Paris Convention (1951) as part of the European coal and steel community. The court was established with seven judges, which allow representation of each of the six member states at the time and a number of non-female judges in the case of equality. During its establishment, one judge from every member state and the seventh seat was exchanged between the "Big member States" (West Germany, France and Italy). He became an institution of two other communities in 1957 when the European Economic Community (EEC) and the European Atomic Agency (Euratom) were created, and shared the same courts with the European coal and steel community.
The Masterich Convention was approved in 1993 and created the European Union. The court’s name did not change as opposed to other institutions. The power of the court was on the front page. The court came to power in 1997, with the signing of the Amsterdam Convention. Subjects from the third column were transferred to the first page. In the past, these issues were settled between the member states.
After the entry of the Lisbon Convention into effect on December 1, 2009, the official name of the Court of Justice differs from the "European Communities Court of Justice" to "The Court of Justice", although English is still the most accepted to refer to the Court as the "European Court of Justice". The Court of Justice is different for the sake of the “General Court,” and the term “The Court of Justice of the European Union” is now officializing the two courts, alongside its special courts, together.

Judges
The Court of Justice includes 27 judges in 11 attorneys. The justices and general meetings are appointed in a joint agreement by the governments of the member states and serve as a renewed period of six years. Art requires their choice from legal experts whose independence is “over any doubt” and have the skills required for appointment to the highest jurisdictions in their countries, or with a recognized capacity.
