Constitutional Court's Judgments (Translations)
Judicial power in Spain is unitary. There are superior courts in each of the Autonomous Communities that are part of the national judiciary. Information about each of these courts is posted on the website for Spain's judiciary under the "Tribunales Superiores de Justicia" tab. For an overview of the Spanish judiciary, see the section on "Judicial Power," Section 2.1.3 in GlobaLex's "UPDATE: Guide to Legal Research in Spain."
Spain's official government gazette, Boletín Oficial del Estado, is available electronically. Links to the official government gazettes for the Autonomous Communities, as well as the autonomous cities of Ceuta and Melilla, are listed below. All of these are published in Spanish, and some are also available in local languages--for example, Catalán, Galician, and Euskara.
