Template:ECLI/doc

Usage

This template enables editors to add a European Case Law Identifier (ECLI) to a citation.

From EUR-Lex documentation: The identifier consists of five parts in the following order, with each separated by a colon:

1. Abbreviation "ECLI"
2. Country code (2 characters)
3. Court code (1-7 characters)
4. Year of the decision (4 digits)
5. Unique identifying number (max. 25 characters, dots allowed)

The template currently works for the following ECLIs:

Territory or organization	Abbreviation	Routing	Remarks
European Union	EU	EUR-Lex	all decisions of all courts
European Patent Office	EP	European e-Justice Portal	all decisions of the Board of Appeal
Council of Europe	CE	ECHR HUDOC	all decisions the European Court of Human Rights
Austria	AT	Rechtsinformationssystem (RIS)	Decisions of: Verfassungsgerichtshof, Oberster Gerichtshof, Bundesverwaltungsgericht, Bundesfinanzgericht, Landesverwaltungsgerichte, Datenschutzbehörde
France	FR	e-Justice	Conseil constitutionnel, Conseil d'État, Cour de cassation, Tribunal des conflits
Germany	DE	e-Justice	Only issued for Bundesverwaltungsgericht decisions.
The Netherlands	NL	Rechtspraak / Tuchtrecht	Issued for published court decisions, all courts (rechtspraak), disciplinary decisions (tuchtrecht).
Slovakia	SK	Otvorenesudy.sk	Site non-responsive as of July 2022. E-Justice does not appear to host Slovak cases, and Slovak government pages do not include ECLI in their search. Judikaty is a subscription site with a rough all-text search that tends to hit ECLI, but it also requires matching the correct database.
Slovenia	SI	e-Justice
Spain	ES	e-Justice	all published decisions (since 1850)

Please help to add ECLIs from other European Union countries or international organizations to the template, or leave a message on the talk page for help.
