Belongs here: a modern constitutional or supreme court judge whose court sits in Europe. Does not belong here: a judge of an international or supranational court such as the European Court of Human Rights, who belongs under International and Supranational Court Judges instead, or a judge outside Europe, who belongs under one of this atlas's other regional subcategories.
