In addition to providing news about the Court and its publications, the Information Notes contain legal summaries of cases of the Court that are considered of particular interest.

Each summary has a headnote and is arranged by Convention Article and keyword. Legal summaries are also available in HUDOC.

One version of the Information Note will be issued monthly from January 2019 and will replace the provisional versions published since 1998. Translations of the legal summaries into the other official language can now be accessed directly through hyperlinks in the Note. These hyperlinks lead to HUDOC, which is regularly updated with new translations.
