Eureka

EU law, augmented: defined terms, references, CJEU judgments, timelines and alerts on EUR-Lex and at eureka.legal, in 24 languages.

EU law, augmented. Eureka turns EU law into linked text you can read without losing your place: on EUR-Lex in Chrome, and on the web at eureka.legal. Open any regulation, directive or decision, a judgment of the Court of Justice or the General Court, or an Advocate General's opinion, in the HTML view on eur-lex.europa.eu. Eureka links the text and adds a panel beside it. WHAT YOU GET • Defined terms. Every term the act defines is a link. Click it and the definition opens beside the text. Terms inside definitions are links too, as deep as you like. • Definitions in related acts. A term's card shows the related acts that define the same term, for example "personal data" across the GDPR, the Data Act, the AI Act and others: which act defined it first, which refer to that definition, and which word it differently, with the differing words marked. Proposals and repealed acts are included and marked. • References. "Article 6(1)", "Directive 95/46/EC", "TFEU": a click shows the article or act you are referred to, without leaving the page. The card shows where a provision sits, such as GDPR › Article 6 › paragraph 1 › point (a). • Everything about an article in one click. A small ring next to each article heading shows at a glance what Eureka knows about it: case law, acts adopted under it, corrections, dates and changes. Click it for the details, a translation or a link to share. • Translations side by side. Show any article or paragraph next to one or two other language versions, with the links in every language, or the whole act, judgment or opinion side by side. Or switch the whole document to another language at the same place. Where the language versions differ, a translation notice says how. • Case law per article. How many judgments interpret or cite each article, which ones, and the paragraphs that cite it. • Acts adopted under an article. The implementing and delegated acts adopted on the basis of each article, such as the adequacy decisions under Article 45 GDPR. • Judgments and opinions, linked. New judgments and Advocate General's opinions open the day they are delivered. Citations of other judgments are links, also when cited by date and name ("judgment of 19 October 2016, Breyer") or by a short name; so are the Court's own paragraphs, the subject line, the headings, the questions referred, the footnotes and Official Journal references. Quoted provisions open in the act they come from, with their defined terms. The Details card shows the court, date, Advocate General and the operative part. Share the judgment or one paragraph. • Contents. A table of contents for acts, and for Advocate General's opinions and newer judgments with their nested headings. • Status and history. Whether the act is in force, its consolidated versions, amendments, corrigenda and events. • Timeline. Dates of application, deadlines and review clauses, with marks at the articles concerned. • What changed. For amended acts, the old and the new wording side by side. • Follow acts, articles and cases. News about new judgments, amendments and corrigenda, and for a pending case the Advocate General's opinion and the judgment, in the panel and by e-mail if you like. • Share an article. A link to eureka.legal that opens the article with its definitions and references on any phone or computer, no extension needed. • Legal Latin. Phrases such as "inter alia" and "mutatis mutandis" explained. • All 24 official EU languages, inflected forms included. ALSO ON THE WEB Read acts, judgments and opinions at eureka.legal/lex with the same links, on your phone too. Search by short name, title or number: "GDPR 17" opens Article 17 of the GDPR, "C-311/18" or "Schrems II" opens the judgment. At eureka.legal/definitions, compare every definition in groups of related acts, such as digital law, financial services and product safety, in all 24 languages, free to read, with filters and sorting. AI IS ALWAYS MARKED Some content is written by AI: translation notices, timeline headlines, summaries of changes and of what a judgment says about an article. Every such item carries an "AI" label. Definitions, the comparison of definitions and the texts of acts and judgments are never AI-generated. FREE DURING THE LAUNCH PERIOD An account opens the features: an e-mail address, no password, no card. Everything is free during the launch period. When paid plans start, existing accounts get at least three months to choose a plan.
