How should judges of the European Court of Justice be selected, who
should participate in the Court's proceedings and how should
judgments be drafted? These questions have remained blind spots in
the normative literature on the Court. This book aims to address
them. It describes a vast, yet incomplete transformation:
Originally, the Court was based on a classic international law
model of court organisation and decision-making. Gradually, the
concern for the effectiveness of EU law led to the reinvention of
its procedural and organisational design. The role of the judge was
reconceived as that of a neutral expert, an inner circle of
participants emerged and the Court became more hierarchical. While
these developments have enabled the Court to make EU law uniquely
effective, they have also created problems from a democratic
perspective. The book argues that it is time to democratise the
Court and shows ways to do this.
