The final judgment is drafted in French, deliberated upon in secret deliberations and the final (French) version is agreed by the judges in the relevant Chamber. Documents that are submitted to the CJEU are translated into French, and the case is processed entirely in French. The language chosen by the applicant or referring court will be the language of procedure for the case in question. However, in order for it to actually function and produce its multilingual case law, the CJEU uses a single internal working language: French.Ĭases can be brought before the CJEU in any of the 24 EU official languages. It is, in that sense, a truly multilingual institution. The Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) produces case law in all 24 EU official languages. The phenomenon of multilingual law is particularly evident in the context of the European Union (EU), which produces law in 24 languages, for application throughout 27 Member States. But can an institution be truly multilingual? And what implications might multilingualism have on the work of such institutions? Many international organisations have multiple official languages, and carry out their functions through multilingual legal and political institutions. Multilingualism underpins much of this globalised legal work. The intense progress of globalisation in the latter half of the 20th century has led to a rapid increase in the production of international treaties and agreements, the creation of international courts, as well as reliance on international arbitration. Nowhere is this more important than in the regulation of that global society.
