Notes:
On December 31. It must be considered that, apart from very few cases, there is no correspondence between the county borders and those of judicial regions. The number of judicial bodies shown in the table corresponds to those that really have their headquarters in the county of reference, ignoring the counties that contain municipalities that also fall within the bounds of these judicial districts.
(2) A Barcelona, a més dels òrgans judicials indicats en el quadre, hi ha 59 jutjats de 1a. instància, 33 jutjats d'instrucció, 1 jutjat degà únic i 3 jutjats del registre civil exclusius.

Methodological note

Methodological aspects

The presentation of the tables follows the typology of different areas of law within the Catalan and State judicial systems on December 31st:

  • penal
  • civil
  • administrative contentious
  • constitutional
  • social
  • family
  • youth

The Superior Court of Justice of Catalonia, constituted in 1989, is the highest judicial authority in the Catalan territory and has the ultimate word on all legal procedures, notwithstanding the authority corresponding to the Supreme Court.

The Superior Court of Justice of Catalonia (TSJC) has three courtrooms: the civil and penal, the administrative contention and the social courtroom. The administrative contention courtroom is divided into five sections.

It must be considered that, apart from very few cases, there is no correspondence between the county borders and those of judicial regions. The number of judicial bodies shown in the table corresponds to those that really have their headquarters in the county of reference, ignoring the counties that contain municipalities that also fall within the bounds of these judicial districts.
