Abstract
We exploit variations in access rules on the European Court of Justice to explore the effect of procedural inclusiveness on the agenda of international adjudicators. Using natural language processing methods, we analyze the entire universe of ECJ decisions up to 2015, mapping issue prevalence across time, procedure and litigant type. We find evidence that the more inclusive annulment and referral procedures are associated with greater issue heterogeneity whereas less inclusive infringement procedure displays greater issue cohesiveness as well as greater issue stability over time.
