The JUPORTAL public database of Belgian case-law has existed since the end of 2017.
Case-law in the JUPORTAL system is available using the JUPORTAL search engine, which has replaced the former Jure-Juridat search engine since November 2020.

- the Constitutional Court (Cour constitutionnelle / Grondwettelijk Hof)
- the Court of Cassation (Cour de cassation / Hof van Cassatie)
- the courts of appeal (cour d’appel / hof van beroep)
- the labour courts of appeal (cour du travail / arbeidshof)
- the courts of first instance (tribunal de première instance / rechtbank van eerste aanleg)
