At the Supreme Court, a small percentage of criminal judgments have been categorised by title since 2006. Judgments may therefore be accessed by title. Civil and criminal judgments may be accessed by publication number.
The Athens Court of Appeal (Εφετείο Αθηνών) does not post civil or criminal judgments online. Civil judgments are posted on the corresponding administrative websites with numbers and summaries, but are not categorised. Neither the numbers nor the results of criminal judgments are posted.
Examples of headline/s
Fraud, Rape, Late alimony, Bribery
