The General Court,informally known as the European General Court (EGC),is a constituent court of the Court of Justice of the European Union. It hears actions taken against the institutions of the European Union by individuals and member states,although certain matters are reserved for the European Court of Justice. Decisions of the General Court can be appealed to the Court of Justice,but only on a point of law. Prior to the coming into force of the Lisbon Treaty on 1 December 2009,it was known as the Court of First Instance.
The High Court of Justiciary is the supreme criminal court in Scotland. The High Court is both a trial court and a court of appeal. As a trial court,the High Court sits on circuit at Parliament House or in the adjacent former Sheriff Court building in the Old Town in Edinburgh,or in dedicated buildings in Glasgow and Aberdeen. The High Court sometimes sits in various smaller towns in Scotland,where it uses the local sheriff court building. As an appeal court,the High Court sits only in Edinburgh. On one occasion the High Court of Justiciary sat outside Scotland,at Zeist in the Netherlands during the Pan Am Flight 103 bombing trial,as the Scottish Court in the Netherlands. At Zeist the High Court sat both as a trial court,and an appeal court for the initial appeal by Abdelbaset al-Megrahi.

The phrase "I know it when I see it" is a colloquial expression by which a speaker attempts to categorize an observable fact or event,although the category is subjective or lacks clearly defined parameters. The phrase was used in 1964 by United States Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart to describe his threshold test for obscenity in Jacobellis v. Ohio. In explaining why the material at issue in the case was not obscene under the Roth test,and therefore was protected speech that could not be censored,Stewart wrote:
I shall not today attempt further to define the kinds of material I understand to be embraced within that shorthand description ["hard-core pornography"],and perhaps I could never succeed in intelligibly doing so. But I know it when I see it,and the motion picture involved in this case is not that.

Boumediene v. Bush,553 U.S. 723 (2008),was a writ of habeas corpus submission made in a civilian court of the United States on behalf of Lakhdar Boumediene,a naturalized citizen of Bosnia and Herzegovina,held in military detention by the United States at the Guantanamo Bay detention camps in Cuba. Guantánamo Bay is not formally part of the United States,and under the terms of the 1903 lease between the United States and Cuba,Cuba retained ultimate sovereignty over the territory,while the United States exercises complete jurisdiction and control. The case was consolidated with habeas petition Al Odah v. United States. It challenged the legality of Boumediene's detention at the United States Naval Station military base in Guantanamo Bay,Cuba as well as the constitutionality of the Military Commissions Act of 2006. Oral arguments on the combined cases were heard by the Supreme Court on December 5,2007.

The Polish constitutional crisis,also known as the Polish rule-of-law crisis,is a political conflict ongoing since 2015 in which the Polish government has been accused of failing to adhere to European and Polish constitutional law. The 2015 elections resulted in the Law and Justice party winning control of both the presidency and the parliament. With this government trifecta as a result of its participation in the United Right,PiS used its power to appoint judges to the Constitutional Tribunal in 2015,leading to the 2015 Polish Constitutional Court crisis. The government of Poland continued to expand its hold on the judiciary resulting in the 2017 Supreme Court crisis,and the 2019 Polish judicial disciplinary panel law. These events have allowed the legislature and executive of the Polish government to have de facto control over judges and their appointments.
