The EU treaties allow the Union legislature to establish specialised courts within the institution of the Court of Justice. This possibility was inserted by the Treaty of Nice, and by 2005, the Union’s first and only specialised court to date was established—the Civil Service Tribunal (‘CST’). The judicial architecture of the Union has undergone transformative changes in recent years, and as part of the reforms, the CST was abolished in 2016, marking an abrupt end to the Union’s brief use of specialised courts. This article offers an interim post-mortem of specialised courts, examining the Union’s experimentalism with a three-tier judicial institution by focusing on two unique features. Firstly, the role of judges at specialised courts; and secondly, the review procedure that may be undertaken by the Court of Justice. The article contemplates the future of specialised courts, drawing some constitutional lessons that can be learnt from this brief experiment.

欧盟条约允许联盟立法机关在法院机构内建立专门法院。尼斯条约插入了这种可能性，到2005年，联盟成立了迄今为止第一个也是唯一的专业法院-公务员法庭（'CST'）。近年来，国际电联的司法体系发生了变革性变化，作为改革的一部分，科技委于2016年被废除了，这标志着国际电联短暂使用专门法院的突然终止。本文提供了专门法院的临时验尸，通过着重于两个独特之处来研究由三层司法机构组成的联盟的实验主义。首先，法官在专门法院中的作用；其次，可以由法院进行的审查程序。这篇文章考虑了专门法院的未来，并从这个简短的实验中汲取了一些宪法教训。
