Central Europe

Central Europe gathers the modern judges of Austria, Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary, the constitutional courts of the historic Habsburg and Central European lands. Austria's Constitutional Court, the oldest continuously operating constitutional court in the world, founded in 1919, anchors the group alongside Poland's Constitutional Tribunal and the constitutional courts of the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary, each rebuilt after the end of Communist rule.
