The aim of the Bulletin is to allow judges and constitutional law specialists in the academic world to be informed quickly about the most important judgments in this field. Such exchanges of information will assist national judges in solving critical questions of law which often arise simultaneously in different countries. The decisions from 27 nations and the European Court of Human Rights are presented in the following way: (1) Identification (country, name of the court, chamber if appropriate, date of decision, number of decision or case, title if appropriate, publication of the decision; (2) Keywords of the systematic thesaurus; (3) Keywords of the alphabetic index; (4) Headnotes; (5) Summary; (6) Supplementary information; (7) Languages. The narrative portion of the Bulletin is divided into two parts: (1) a succinct summary of the main legal points of the decision; and (2) additional information on the factual background of the case, the procedure followed, the legal reasoning of the Court and its final decision.
