REFERENCE GUIDE

The site of the FOROEUROPA online Magazine is organized in such a way as to allow an easy retrieval, by both experts and laymen, of the documents and information included in the various thematic areas.
In fact, notwithstanding its utmost significance, the EU law is still a new subject, and one needs to have access to a few basic coordinates to delve into it.
The FOROEUROPA Magazine tends to limit as much as possible the said obstacles and, even for clear popularization purposes, is designed to permit an approach to this subject even to those who get in contact with it for the first time.

Jurisdiction Area
The Jurisdiction Area includes the maxims, as well as the unabridged text, of all the rulings of the Court of Justice, the 1st Degree Court, and all the other European and National (having EU interest) jurisdictions. It may be inquired into in various ways.
The contents of the Magazine list in chronological order the small titles of all the maxim-related rulings from 01.01.2001, which a reader, in case of need, may get out both the maxim and the unabridged text.
A special link in the contents includes a selection of the rulings that are deemed most interesting by the Editorial Staff.
The search motor allows the retrieval from the Database of all the published rulings, having recourse to a number of search channels:
. Issuing body
. Subject
. Essential elements of the provision
. Words included in the text of the ruling or in the maxim.
With a view to facilitating the reader’s task, it was deemed advisable for the listing of the subjects to be as close as possible to the classification adopted by the Court of Justice or the 1st degree Court, notwithstanding a few changes designed to keep the partitions more in keeping with our legal culture.

Doctrine Area
Both the debate issues (leading articles of the Director in charge) and the doctrine articles and notes may be referred to through a search motor that provides for a search by:
