EU law to make sure it is in effect in all EU countries, and settles legal disputes between national governments and EU institutions

The Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) is comprised of two seperate courts:

-Court of Justice: deals with requests for preliminary rulings from national courts, certain actions for annulment and appeals
