Curia, the Court website, has all opinions and judgments of the Courts of Justice and First Instance since 1997. The ECR publishes all opinions and judgments but is currently about 2 years behind in publication due to translation delays, so Curia is the best source for recent cases. Celex includes recent documents, including ECR references for 2002 which have not yet appeared on paper. To look at every judgment and opinion for even one year would be a huge undertaking - hopefully someone has an idea for a shortcut.
