Advocate-General

Advocate-General
an officer who assists the Court of Justice of the European Communities. Advocate-Generals are not members of the Court but are selected in much the same way and have to be equally qualified. It is a peculiarly European office, so does not have an obvious analogue in UK procedure. The Advocates-General investigate the case, as the judges cannot express personal opinions in a report to the Court. As the Court does not sometimes express detailed judgements, again in the continental tradition, the opinion, if followed, is a useful indication of the possible reasoning of the Court and is accordingly published along with the decision in the official reports.
