Information visits


  • Information visits for legal professionals and law students can be organised. In general, the programme includes the screening of a documentary The European Court of Human Rights followed by a presentation on the role and work of the Court lasting approximately one hour. The presentation may also take place after the group has attended a hearing (see calendar of scheduled hearings).
  • Information visits are organised only for groups. The minimum age of participants is 18 years.
  • There are no guided visits of the building.
  • Information visits 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, we recommend that you apply two months in advance.
  • To book, please complete the Electronic form
