Constitutional Tribunal

Each bar is one judge's term as the Tribunal lists it, from the oath to the end of the term. The line above shows how many judges were in office against the number of seats. Click a judge for the details.

The Sejm's vote on each judge, from its open data (recorded votes exist from 1997; secret ballots show turnout but not the direction of votes). Judges elected but not on the Tribunal's lists are included and marked.

Each row is a case (a signature). A case joined to another is decided with it and shows its lead case's ruling; tick the box to show only one row per ruling. Outcomes are read from the operative part of the ruling. Texts are on the Tribunal's own pages.

Each chart counts one thing and says which years are complete. Hatched bars are partial: not every case that could bear on that year has been collected yet. Nothing here is a statement about cause.

Cases filed per year, by series

Rulings per year, by outcome (one per ruling; joined cases count once)

Of the cases filed in a year, the share decided within one and within two years

Share of judgments with a dissent

Days from a ruling to its publication in Dziennik Ustaw or Monitor Polski (median and longest)

Seats vacant on average during the year

Events documented from official sources: acts, rulings, statements and international judgments. Each event is attributed to the institution that made it. No event is presented as the cause of another.
