Any #EU#law historians around? Since when can member states not party to a direct action proceeding before the #CJEU submit observations? The oldest example I could find by a crude text search dates from 1986 [1]. That's 32 years after the first direct action was lodged that included a member state [2]. Were member states simply not allowed to submit observations before?
Interested in studying the European Court of Justice using empirical methods, but not sure how to get started? Look no further! ⚖️📈
I have written an introductory guide to studying the work of the #CJEU using #rstats, guiding you through all the steps from downloading the data to producing figures such as the ones attached (using #ggplot2).
