How to visit the Court

Information visits
 

• Information visits for groups comprise a presentation on the role and work of the Court, lasting approximately one hour. The presentation can take place after the group has attended a hearing (see calendar of scheduled hearings).

• Information visits are organised only for groups (comprising 25 people minimum) who would like detailed information about the Court’s activities. The minimum age of participants is 18 years. Priority will be given to groups with members from a legal background (judges, public prosecutors, lawyers, and teachers and students of law at university level).

• Visits to the Court only take place on working days. The Court is shut at the weekends and on public holidays.

• As we receive a very large number of requests for visits, we recommend that you apply two months in advance.

• To book your visit and for more information, please contact the Visitors' Unit: Electronic form
   

Instructions for visitors groups
 

• Visitors are advised to be extremely punctual.

• The number of participants should not exceed that stated in the list sent to the Visitors’ Unit beforehand.

• Visitors are asked to wear appropriate dress.

• For security reasons, visitors will only be given access to those parts of the building that are open to the public, namely the entrance hall and Courtroom (if it is not being used), unless they have obtained special permission from the Visitors’ Unit to visit other parts. Visitors will not be given access to the cafeteria.

• The building does not have a left-luggage office and visitors are therefore advised to leave their luggage at their hotel or in the coach.

Please ensure that these instructions are followed.
