Court of Justice of the European Union Judges

Court of Justice of the European Union Judges gathers the judges of the Court of Justice of the European Union, the Luxembourg seated institution, comprising the Court of Justice proper and the General Court, that ensures European Union law is interpreted and applied uniformly across every member state. One judge sits from each member state, appointed by common accord of the member state governments for a renewable six year term, and the court's preliminary ruling procedure, through which national courts refer questions of European Union law for a binding answer, has made its judges central architects of the direct effect and supremacy of European Union law within the domestic legal systems of its member states.
