Abstract: The Justice Court is one of the most important EU institutions. This institution has the last word regarding the juridical norms and treaties. More then that, the Court is one of the most visible institutions which can confer trust in the European project or can attract the consent on the EU citizen, having the role to watch over the observance of the European right. Its headquarters are in Luxemburg and it was founded in 1952 through The Paris Treaty. CEJ is formed of 27 judges, one from each state, from which are elected a President and 8 General Advocates.
