At the 
Supreme Court, criminal judgments have been categorised by title since 2008 (full series until 2011). Judgments may therefore be accessed by title. Civil and criminal judgments may be accessed by publication number.
For judgments of the Council of State and the Athens Administrative Court of Appeal (Διοικητικό Εφετείο Αθηνών), case law with headlines is available only to judges.
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
