At the beginning of 2026, the Court of Justice of the European Union modernised its digital communication to enhance openness, transparency, and accessibility for both the general public and legal professionals. This initiative includes:

• The launch of a fully redesigned website;
• An upgraded and more powerful search engine (InfoCuria);
• A new audiovisual platform (CVRIA Web TV).

For the new website, particular emphasis was placed on a user-friendly information structure, an intuitive web design that facilitates navigation and meets high accessibility standards, and clear language that is easily understood by both professionals and the general public.

The updated search engine, InfoCuria, is being introduced in two phases. The first phase, designed specifically for non-experts, offers a user-friendly and accessible interface, enabling faster and easier access to information with new features: fuzzy search, Boolean operators, auto-completion, faceted search, relevance-based sorting, and keyword highlighting. The second phase, currently under development, is intended for experts and will allow more targeted searches based on a wide range of criteria: the referring court, type and outcome of proceedings, composition of the panel, Advocate General, and Judge-rapporteur.

The CVRIA Web TV programme is aligned with the Court’s calendar and includes live broadcasts when judgments are delivered. It also features the reading of opinions, reports on oral hearings, delayed broadcasts of hearings, and explanatory contributions by members of the Court. In addition, three new programmes have been produced, which will be broadcasted regularly on the platform:

• La Cour des citoyens, an educational programme, which explains the role and responsibilities of the Court and illustrates the real-life impact of its decisions;
• Open Court, an interview programme, in which members of the Court inform about its working methods and other key issues;
• Bright, an entertaining short-form programme, which focuses on specific areas of everyday life and explains in a clear and accessible manner how they are shaped by the Court’s case law.

Together, these innovations will strengthen the Court’s role as a transparent judicial authority of the European Union and make its activities and decisions more readily available and easier to understand for Union citizens.
